The cybersecurity industry puts far too much focus on breach detection rather than prevention. Here we have a state-sponsored cyber group targeting military and nuclear programs, and they are exploiting a set of well known CVEs that really should have been patched a long time ago. This tactic works because a significant number of organisations (including those running our critical national infrastructure) still haven't patched these CVEs. Imagine buying the best burglar alarm money can buy and then never taking the time to close your front door. If you are putting all of your security budget into internal tools without securing your external attack surface then this is exactly what you are doing (and it will never work).

Cyber security division is not performance in the good way. It seem not solved the problem at all. Nuclear weapon present high risk in the US and the nations. It need to be dealing with the high risk of the dense of the population. Those not high dense of the population may survived in the good ways. US is in the high risk as well.
