Security BreachNew Strategies for Old-School HacksCoordinating patches, covering the basics and not falling for 'pinky promises.'Late last year we discussed Lockbit’s ransomware attack on Boeing, and the ensuing “cyber incident” that resulted. One of the experts we tapped into in breaking down the attack, and its fallout, was KnowBe4’s Erich Kron.You can check that episode out in our archives. In addition to his extensive knowledge on threat actors like Lockbit, Erich also has a tremendous amount of insight on a number of cybersecurity challenges that continue to plaque the industrial sector, including the human el...2024-01-0929 min
Security BreachLearning from the Dark SideA former black hat offers insight on defending against hackers that "go for the throat every time."One of the mindsets shared by hackers and their corporate victims is the desire to put a successful bow on the calendar year. For you this could mean hitting a collection of shipping dates, production quantities or equipment implementations. What many are beginning to realize is that the black hat community has a number of year-end targets to hit as well. The focus on closing out orders, dealing with holiday-related slowdowns and potentially fewer employees on the plant...2023-12-2042 min
Security BreachThe Growing Impact of Hacktivists and State-Sponsored GroupsAccidental advancements by state-sponsored hackers are impacting ICS security, and elevating network visibility needs.Amongst the traditional threats to manufacturing enterprises and industrial control systems are the escalating roles of state-sponsored hacker groups. Refined through recent hostilities in the Ukraine and Gaza Strip, more and more cyber attacks against critical infrastructure around the world has cybersecurity experts looking beyond independent RaaS groups and malware drops.What makes these organizations so concerning is that they are more focused on stealing data and manipulating operations than extorting funds. This means the challenges associated with dwell time and...2023-12-1343 min
Security BreachWalking the LineBalancing resources to keep the bad guys out, improve real-time visibility, and develop quicker responses to new attacks.In what might be legendary singer Johnny Cash's most famous song, he speaks of keeping his eyes wide open all the time, and those tasked with OT security responsibilities are finding that they too need to walk the line. In the cybersecurity world this means balancing between the priorities of different operational environments, selecting tools and technologies that best match these priorities, and then understanding how all these investments can be intertwined to carry out your strategy.

Security BreachTurning Up the Cat & Mouse GameStaying ahead of hackers as they look to infiltrate every new connection point.The balancing act continues when it comes to industrial cybersecurity, with the focus of many organizations split between focusing on known internal weaknesses or harnessing a better understanding of the external black hat organizations wanting to shut them down, steal data or extort payments.One stat that helps demonstrate this dynamic comes from the IBM Security X Force Threat Intelligence Index, which shows a 94 percent reduction in the average time for the deployment of ransomware attacks. What took attackers over two months...2023-11-1626 min
Security BreachThis is the Way ... to Beat HackersThere are two common elements of a hacker’s strategy that show up regardless of whether it’s a ransomware attack on a local healthcare system or a malware drop on a global automotive manufacturer. The first is speed. Once an exploit is detected by the bad guys, they will work as quickly as possible to take advantage of it, hopefully beating the deployment of any patches. The second element is manipulation. Most commonly, hackers take advantage of well-established systems that have unextraordinary access points, legacy connections or human management dynamics that are easily manipulated by alt...2023-11-1040 min
Security BreachPatches, PLCs and Making it Harder for HackersThe little things that can shore up cyber defenses and protect against evolving attack groups.When it comes to assessing the threat landscape for OT cybersecurity environments, the challenge has become less about identifying possible sources of attack, and more about prioritizing them. Protection from external sources gets a lot of attention, and rightfully so. However, another source of these threats, which can be just as detrimental, lies within the walls of your facility.Joining us today to discuss some of these internal vulnerabilities, and a tremendous report that details them, is Carlos Buenano, the...2023-10-2636 min

Security BreachAvoiding 'Shiny New Objects'Assessing the priorities, assets and technology strategies that make cybersecurity a journey, not a destination.A recent report from OT cybersecurity solutions provider Cyolo discussed several factors related to secure remote access in the industrial sector. Specifically, it identified a lack of visibility, insufficient user education and training, and weak access control as the top three cybersecurity deficiencies currently facing Cyolo’s industrial customers – all of which were referenced by more than 50 percent of those surveyed. Cyolo also reported on the most highly implemented solutions, which survey respondents identified as defense in depth, network segmentation and m...2023-08-3134 min
Security BreachKnowing 'What is Good'Using data to break down silos, reverse engineer outcomes, and identify emerging threats like WormGPT.According to recent report from Trellix, 31 percent of CISOs identified a lack of buy-in and use of cyber tools as one of their leading challenges. Additionally, of those who have experienced a large security incident, significant stress to the SecOps team and major attrition from these teams were identified as the most significant impacts of a cyber attack – outranking network downtime and data loss. These findings seem to indicate how important processes, and not just tools, have become in defending an...2023-08-2338 min

Security BreachPhishing Lessons and 'Shifting the Target'How a global manufacturer learned from past attacks, and the most critical benefit of security tools.IBM research shows a 33 percent increase in cyberattacks against manufacturing companies between 2021-2022. Of those, according to IBM, 44 percent occurred because industrial companies failed to apply the appropriate software patches. With this in mind, it’s not a surprise that additional data from The 2023 OpenText Cybersecurity Threat Report found that manufacturing is the leader in terms of rate of malware infection – coming in at a rate that is more than 55 percent higher than the average for all industry verticals, incl...2023-08-1053 min
Security BreachThe Growing Problem of 'Insecure by Design'"It just boggles the mind that things that are so important to how our world works are so shockingly unprotected."According to ABI Research, less than five percent of critical industrial infrastructure is monitored for threats. The company also reports that by 2030 industrial environments will house more than 1.2 billion connection points for machines and production systems. So, while it’s impossible to be in all places at all times, this growth in connectivity will place a greater strain on security resources even after prioritizing data and network assets, and focusing on the most pressing potential vu...2023-08-0441 min
