The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises TodayManaging system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.

The CISO and his staff need to be fired, this has caused a breach from a national security perspective.
In addition, it sounds to me that they did not take "cybersecurity" seriously because after the hack, they are now just putting together a team, that should have been in the very beginning (but it is too late now, the damage has been done - reputation and confidence).
This is definitely a lack of oversight and judgement on a company that toutes security and network management, sad to see a giant being hit by a select group (where was the notification or alerting, failure at all ends of the spectrum).
