When a former Congresswoman and Trump-appointed U.S. Department of Defense official stood in Joe Biden’s way of damaging national security, she was slapped with false allegations and removed from her post.
With Katie Arrington no longer spearheading the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturation Model Certification (CMMC) program, Biden and his America-last flunkies scuttled an unprecedented effort that would deter advanced persistent hacking threats from enemy states such as Iran, China, and Russia.
In a move that makes organizations in the military-industrial base supply chain vulnerable to cyberattack, Biden has upended national security.
Katie Arrington was in Biden’s Way?
The former South Carolina Congresswoman joined the Trump Administration in 2019.
She oversaw a robust effort to ramp up the country’s weak cybersecurity defenses by rolling out the advanced protocols.
The CMMC effectively brought together scattered cybersecurity regulations that were unevenly applied through the military supply chain.
Its comprehensive approach to national security laid out five levels of determined measures and required companies that enjoy lucrative DoD contracts to harden their defenses and get certified.
“Our adversaries are working hard every day to exfiltrate, hack, and breach our supply chain. CMMC is about creating critical thinking skills for Cybersecurity, and not another checklist. I don’t want to lose a single supplier, but the culture of the DoD has changed, and cyber best practices are now mandatory,” Katie Arrington, former Assistant Secretary for Defense Acquisition, reportedly said.
Hackers funded by China, Iran, and others were able to target seemingly peripheral organizations.
After stealing emails, documents, digital assets, and penetrating businesses, our enemies were able to piece together military secrets and cause disruption.
One high-profile example involves the SolarWinds hack that compromised more than 18,000 organizations.
Despite statements to the contrary, many suspect the Pentagon was breached.
Rather than follow through and close the gaps in the military supply chain that were easily exploited, Biden appointed America Last puppets, who closed ranks on Arrington.
That’s largely because she was the only patriot standing in their way to weaken our nation.
The smear campaign was as predictable as Biden’s television generals.
She was reportedly placed on leave due to an “Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information.”
In other words, she may have exposed what Biden and his flunkies were planning.
Scuttled CMMC Makes America Vulnerable to Attack
The Washington, D.C., string pullers appear to have control over Joe Biden and his Pentagon puppets.
Just as the final CMMC rule was about to be cemented in September 2021, everything was put on hold.
That meant zero military contractors were required to gain certification.
Adding insult to injury, the woke DoD called for a review and revision of the CMMC.
Now calling the new rules CMMC 2.0, America is embroiled in an international conflict with Russia and, still, the Pentagon does not require certification.
“CMMC 2.0 will dramatically strengthen the cybersecurity of the defense industrial base,” Jesse Salazar, deputy assistant secretary of defense for industrial policy, reportedly stated. “By establishing a more collaborative relationship with industry, these updates will support businesses in adopting the practices they need to thwart cyber threats while minimizing barriers to compliance with DoD requirements.”
But just like CNN — the leader in fake news — the facts present a very different narrative.
The so-called 2.0 rules crunch the five levels of cybersecurity effectiveness into three groups.
But what’s disturbing is that businesses will not necessarily have to gain third-party certification from an accredited body.
Biden lowered the bar across the board, and CMMC 2.0 allows companies to “self-assess” their cybersecurity readiness.
Before former Pres. Donald J. Trump and Arrington entered the fray, the DoD took military supply chain companies at their word that cybersecurity regulations were met.
Time and after time, hackers walked through their subpar defenses.
That’s precisely why Trump and Arrington raised the bar and called for necessary oversight.
As things stand right now, CMMC 2.0 is in perpetual limbo, and no final rule has been established.
According to reports, the Biden Administration indicates a 5-year phase-in plan.
In other words, advanced persistent threats funded by China, Iran, and Russia will treat American cybersecurity like its low-hanging fruit ready to be plucked.
Arrington reportedly sued the woke Pentagon to clear her name.
She’s launching another South Carolina congressional bid and has Trump’s endorsement.
She is already embroiled in a political street fight with incumbent Republican Rep. Nancy Mace.
Until people like Arrington and Trump regain control of the U.S. government, America’s national cybersecurity is a joke to foreign hackers.
Why is the corrupt and biased mainstream media not reporting this? Are they in collusion to help our enemies ? Are Democrats blind to the adverse result of this? Are our elected Democrats now at the side of our enemies? Thanks for educating us , jeep up the great work. This will open most leftist’s eyes to know who are actually puppets of our enemies.
