US national security depends on the reliability and continuous operations of the nation’s critical infrastructure. The increasing complexity and connectivity of critical infrastructure systems exposes them to cybersecurity threats which put their safety and reliability at risk. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework was created through the collaboration of the government and […]

How the Malware Dumpster Became Post-industrial Landfill For companies involved in critical infrastructure or any facet of manufacturing processes, one of the big action items today is securing OT. For the very first time, the security of the industrial computers (which run discrete and continuous processes such as PLCs, DCSs and HMIs) has eclipsed the […]

Although WannaCry and Petya did not specifically target industrial networks, they did reach them. Many IT leaders and their board of directors responded in panic. The incidents raised the profile of how malware can move to ICS environments. It opened up perspective that if bad actors wanted to launch a ransomware attack on industrial networks, they clearly could. Protect Your Entire Network – that […]

Today’s sophisticated Operations Technology (OT) environments have a large attack surface with numerous attack vectors. Without complete coverage, the likelihood of getting attacked is not a matter of ‘if’; it’s a matter of ‘when’. Security for OT has gained significant attention due to a confluence of events. Up until only recently the IT infrastructure played front […]

Modern day industrial operations often span complex IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) infrastructures. In a very standard environment, thousands of devices exist and are increasingly being connected via the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This creates new challenges in securing industrial environments specifically by making cyber-security threats even more difficult to detect, investigate […]

Nesher Israel Cement Enterprises is the largest cement producer in Israel. With a large-scale production sites in Ramla and Haifa, Nesher produces about 60% of the cement used by Israel’s construction industry. With the introduction of “connected” technologies, Nesher realized that its SCADA network could potentially be exposed to cyber threats that jeopardize the safety […]

The adoption of new technologies in oil and gas facilities is a dual-edged sword. On one side, there are the obvious benefits of implementing industrial internet of things (IIoT) devices to improve efficiencies and reduce operational costs. On the other side, there are inherent risks associated with upgrading systems and with the cybersecurity infrastructure. Cybersecurity […]

It was only a matter of time before what befell the Information Technology (IT) community was going to affect the Operational Technology (OT) community. Today, the OT C-suite is saddled with agenda items keeping them up at night. It is the constant and unrelenting security threat that at any moment can land the organization on […]

November is National Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month so I thought it would be a great opportunity to discuss some of the security challenges concerning critical infrastructure, specifically the weak access controls in sensitive operational technology (OT) environments. Strong authentication is an essential requirement for critical infrastructure When defending critical infrastructure, it’s necessary to […]
