"Penn State did not implement certain NIST SP 800-171 security requirements, and did not adequately document, develop and implement plans of action designed to correct deficiencies," the DoJ alleged. "Penn State also allegedly knowingly misstated … the dates by which it expected to implement all 110 of NIST SP 800-171's requirements for those systems and failed to pursue plans of action for their implementation," the DoJ said.Stanford University failed to detect ransomware intruders for 4 months
