One year after the Colonial Pipeline hack — and the IST Ransomware Task Force's report — attacks remain frequent. But the government is making strides and recognizing the issue as a national security matter. Thus far, the federal government and private industry have heeded much of the Ransomware Task Force’s ideas, said IST CEO Phil Reiner during a May 20 event. “We're excited to say that 88 percent of the recommendations that were in the report have seen some implementation. We have also seen about 25 percent of significant progress on those recommendations,” Reiner said. The event focused on ransomware trends and the impact of the IST Ransomware Task Force’s recommendations during the past year.
