NIST Cyber Security Framework

Recently(2017) , MTL was attacked and thesystems were down. This brought a whole lot of downtime and millions of lossess to the organisation. In 2013, the US governemnt released an executive order and this was translated into a framework within a few years. MTL is therefore utilizing the knowledge shared in response to this challenges to prevent future attacks on its infrastructure and reduce the losses.

MTL though a non-american company, finds the framework very useful in arming itself against future attacks.

This begins with a change in mindset that MTL has moved from the belief that it cannot be a player in the cyber space to  one that it is recognizes that it is an important player and thanks to automation it can be found by cyber criminals, (as it was attacked in 2017) also that MTL recognizes that it has money and the cyber criminals will disrupt MTL until they get what they want and finally that MTL recognizes that it can drastically reduce the risk of infection if MTL practices good cyber habits. 

We conclude that having a robust approach that includes good cyber security hygiene using the best framework will go a long way to reduce the occurrence and devastation of future cyber attacks.

Below is the NIST cyber security framework explained in detail.

Why Is America So Rich?

Nigeria practices the mixed economy: Government also regulates the free market. Well, its 2018 and we down in Nigeria, are learning to look away from government. and try the american system. But the economic system is so poor that there is a huge turnover of small businesses each year.

Thus the mixed system so far is the acceptable approach here in Nigeria.

But gradually, we will shift toward the free market when the ecnomy is open and government is given less control over critical resources. Lets start with OIL.
