Biden administration restricts US investment in tech China’s military might employ
https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2023/08/10/biden_china_investment_executive_order/
What would happen if a country or countries came to their senses and decided to employ Wave’s disruptive technologies as a strong defense before the U.S? Shouldn’t the U.S. be preparing is defenses now with Wave before other counties figure this out? What stops Germany and Infineon from using cyber defense TPM protection in that country? Wave works with all the different companies TPMs!! Will the US be left out by focusing its energies on unproven technologies like AI and quantum?

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/08/09/biden-admin-launches-hacking-challenge-to-use-ai-for-cybersecurity.html
Excerpt: The qualifying event will be held in the SPRING….
Why aren’t we protecting data, devices and networks NOW with hardware security and Wave? I agree with Methinks!!
Isn’t A.I complex while Wave is simpler and can be turned on at scale? Why not use Wave’s cybersecurity NOW or soon, as it has been proven to work effectively in large organizations?
Why not NOW or soon because the TCG (Microsoft and Google are part of the TCG) back these hardware security standards NOW!!!
Won’t it take a lot of time to sift through unproven AI solutions?

Didn’t Peter Sprague, Steven Sprague, and Michael Sprague have discussions about rescuing National Semiconductor from near bankruptcy years ago? National semiconductor became a multi billion dollar company!! Do the Spragues still meet? Why isn’t Steven Sprague giving some of his energy to rescuing Wave rather than Crypto given what the shareholders did for him and his family?? Where is Bill Solms?
This article shows another example of why Wave is essential!!!
North Korea hackers had access to Russian missile maker for months, say researchers

Wouldn’t it be a good time to use Widepoint/Wave or Wave and the TPM and SED to help secure our government and other organizations? Is waiting to make a decision working when the evidence for protecting our nation clearly points to using Trusted Computing and Wave solutions?

Methinks - How many committees need to be formed and time to pass by before someone to make a decision to make hardware and software security mandatory for government purposes and for organizations like education!! Nothing else seems to be working very effectively!! If there are still so many hacks shouldn’t many cybersecurity companies bear the blame for this? Wave could do better!!! Do we have too many committees and companies that are collaborating and not getting the job done? Couldn’t Biden issue an executive order for hardware and software security and the TCG OR do we continue to spin the wheels on cybersecurity and trusted computing?
Tesla infotainment jailbreak unlocks paid features, extract secrets
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/tesla-infotainment-jailbreak-unlocks-paid-features-extracts-secrets/amp/
Excerpt: As for what tools are needed to jailbreak Tesla’s infotainment system, one of the researchers Christian Werling, explains that a soldering iron and $100 worth of electronic equipment, like the Teensy 4.0 board, ‘should’be enough to do the trick.
Methinks: Doesn’t it sound like the hacker needs to be in possession of the car to hack it? Wouldn’t this be harder to do than a car using software to protect it? Have you heard of Volkswagen having any problems using the TPM to protect it?
Good point about the UN!! I’m not sure what is happening, but hasn’t the TPM been tested in the real world conditions and proven itself?? Would the TCG still be going if software is stronger than hardware? The TPM isn’t perfect but haven’t hackers had an easier time hacking software security only solutions?? THANK YOU for your comments Methinks!!!!
Microsoft Addresses Critical Power Platform Flaw After Delays and Criticism

Is Microsoft or ESW the full answer for Wave or are there other companies in the TCG (Trusted Computing Group or the TCG itself who would want to work with Wave on this paradigm shifting technology? Doesn’t hardware secucurity (activated TPMs and SEDs) with Wave make it harder for attackers to hack than software security alone?

Methinks and others,
Why is the world waiting to activate ALL TPMs and SEDs in computers and networks? Has not doing so been the cause for losses in the trillions of dollars or more importantly been or becoming life and death situations as in this article??
Colorado Department of Higher Education warns of massive data breach
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/colorado-department-of-higher-education-warns-of-massive-data-breach/amp/
Methinks and others, does Microsoft want to wait to protect organizations’ whole networks by WAITING for organizations to have all Windows 11 computers or start protecting all the computers and networks now with the activation of TPMs and SEDs by using Wave? Is waiting working?
Wouldn’t this delay computers going into landfills and as an added bonus help the environment?

Helping Windows 11 fight the hackers

Excerpt: For any of this to work, Intel must have a way to securely store secrets in a tamper-free region of the hardware, protecting them from software-based attacks. This is where the trusted platform module (TPM) comes in. A TPM stores secrets such as keys, passwords and digital certificates directly in the silicon, at a level that attackers cannot reach.

Methinks, there is another saying that I’m sure you have heard, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know!” You may know a lot more people in the industry that I just don’t know! I may think I know quite a bit about Wave and the cybersecurity market, but I don’t know the people you know, the people the Spragues know, the people Mr. Solms knows and the people Wave Nation knows!
The article below is another example of the thousands of attacks on the U.S. and the world that Wave could have been prevented.
Hopefully the right people sooner or later find out how Wave and the TCG could be helping them with better security!!

Nine Million MCNA Dental Customers Hit By Breach
https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/nine-million-mcna-dental-customers/

A notice published on its website Friday explained that the firm became aware of UNAUTHORIZED NETWORK ACTIVITY on March 6.
Infamous ransomware group LockBit appears to have been behind the attack. It claimed to have published all the files it exfiltrated via its leak site back in early April after MCNA refused to pay a multimillion dollar ransom demand.
The insurer is offering affected customers a year’s free identity theft protection.
