Cyber Secure Institute

The White House, the Pentagon, power grids, all have been compromised. If these systems can be hacked no system is secure. You, your family, your company could be next.

Why? Because, the technologies we depend on to secure our nation, drive our economy, run our companies and live our lives are all fundamentally insecure.

In fact, these technologies, despite claims of security, are actually certified by the federal government as insecure; the National Security Agency and the National Institute for Standards and Technology have certified that these technologies are only secure against inadvertent and non-hostile threats. But the cyber attackers we face today are serious, sophisticated, technologically-advanced bad actors with hostile intent—the Chinese Military, the Russian mafia, corporate espionage spies, and disgruntled IT insiders.

We are in constant race between the hackers and the patchers (the IT staffers who run behind the hackers trying to fill the gaps as they learn of them). And, we are losing:

* Every year cyber attacks cost the U.S. economy $226 billion.1
* Every month identity theft affects more than 33,333 American children.2
* Every day up to 5 million fraudulent phishing emails are sent.3
* Every three seconds someone’s identify is stolen.4

This needs to change.
