Final determinations aside...several potential issues.

1. Supply chain security... (What's in the soup...?)

2. Application of new technologies as "plug-ins" to native networks.

3. Rapid advancement and slow/non-existent certification requirements


Conflict of IA trying to lock-down networks poised against technologies and users who want free access to everything. If nobody notices, nobody mentions it...until there is an issue.

As pointed out in the article, the paradigm has been siloed capabilities...which were more secure based upon architecture. The "cloud" or National/Global WAN architecture poses multiple layers of issues and you end up "flying blind" (pun intended) trying to figure out the issue.
