🚨 CAN CHINA BREAK US INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY?

YES. They're already inside.

Using TODAY's technology β€” no quantum computing required

⚠️ CONFIRMED BY US GOVERNMENT

FBI Director Christopher Wray (January 2024):

"China's hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real world harm to American citizens and communities."

December 2024 β€” Geneva Summit:

China ADMITTED to Volt Typhoon attacks. US officials were "startled" by the admission. China indicated attacks were meant to deter US from defending Taiwan.

Volt Typhoon

Power grids, water systems, pipelines, transportation. Pre-positioned for future disruption during potential Taiwan conflict.

ACTIVE β€” Inside 5+ Years

Salt Typhoon

AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and 6+ other carriers breached. Access to law enforcement wiretap systems. 1M+ users' data compromised.

ACTIVE β€” Still In Networks

Electric Grid Infiltration

Chinese hackers dwelled 300+ days undetected in Massachusetts utility, collecting operational technology data for future attacks.

CONFIRMED β€” 2023

Zero Trust ↔ NIS2 Requirements Map

Color-Coded Framework Convergence

Blue β€” US Zero Trust Only (EO 14028 / OMB M-22-09)
Green β€” Shared Requirements (Both Frameworks)
Gold β€” EU NIS2 Only (Directive 2022/2555)

Sound Familiar?

Organizations across the EU and US are facing the same pressures.

⏰

"We have a compliance deadline and don't know if we'll make it."

NIS2, DORA, and sector-specific regulations are creating real urgency. You need a clear picture of where you stand.

🀷

"Zero Trust sounds great, but where do we even start?"

The frameworks are complex. The vendors all claim to have the answer. You need practical guidance that fits your environment.

πŸ“Š

"Our board is asking questions we can't confidently answer."

Leadership wants to know: Are we secure? Are we compliant? What's our risk? You need clear, defensible answers.

πŸ’Έ

"We've spent money on security tools but aren't sure they're working."

Technology alone isn't the answer. You need to know if your investments are actually reducing risk.

πŸ”

"An audit is coming and we're not prepared."

Whether it's regulators, insurers, or customers, you need documentation that demonstrates your security posture.

🧩

"We don't have the internal expertise to figure this out."

Your team is stretched thin. You need a partner who can assess, prioritize, and guide implementation.
