Steele Fortress Releases "The Fortress Protocol v3.0": The Definitive Technical Manual for High-Stakes Personal Cybersecurity
CHICAGO, IL - December 19, 2025 - Steele Fortress today announced the release of The Fortress Protocol v3.0, a comprehensive technical manual designed to bridge the gap between enterprise security standards and personal digital safety. Unlike typical consumer advice lists, v3.0 is a cohesive, 52-page implementation guide that codifies the hardware, software, and behavioral protocols necessary to defend against targeted threats in 2026.As cyber threats evolve from opportunistic phishing to targeted account takeovers and infrastructure compromises, high-net-worth individuals, legal professionals, and business leaders find themselves outgrowing standard consumer advice. The Fortress Protocol v3.0 addresses this vulnerability by treating personal security as an architectural problem rather than a collection of settings.
"Most personal security advice is fragmented-a blog post about passwords here, a video about VPNs there," said Jonathan Steele, Partner and CTO at Steele Fortress. "We built The Fortress Protocol because our clients-who manage sensitive legal and corporate data-needed a unified standard. This isn't about buying a product; it is about implementing a rigorous, repeatable system that assumes compromise and builds resilience."
The v3.0 Technical Standard The updated manual (a 50-minute technical read) moves beyond basic recommendations to provide specific configuration steps for a "Zero Trust" personal environment. Key modules include:
Hardware Authentication Architecture: A shift away from SMS and App-based 2FA to a strictly FIDO2/WebAuthn standard using YubiKeys, eliminating the risk of SIM-swapping and adversary-in-the-middle attacks.
Network & Infrastructure Hardening: Detailed configuration for segregating IoT devices, implementing WPA3, and utilizing WireGuard VPN protocols to reduce attack surface.
The "3-2-1" Backup & Recovery Standard: A disaster recovery protocol ensuring data survival through local, offline, and immutable cloud repositories using private encryption keys.
Incident Response Drills: A pre-scripted "break-glass" procedure for detection, containment, and recovery during the critical first hour of a compromise.
Availability The Fortress Protocol v3.0 is available immediately as a public resource. While developed for Steele Fortress clients, the manual has been released publicly to raise the baseline of digital defense for at-risk individuals globally.
