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…
Network Effects are Powerful Since the early days of TCP/IP, connectivity-driven convergence has created waves of multi-billion dollar markets, seemingly out of thin air. All of the successes thus far have had one thing in common:…
Cyber-attacks are a daily occurrence. While the largest attacks make intermittent headlines, the attacks as a whole are unrelenting. Day after day, hour after hour, our computer and network infrastructure, both enterprise and personal, are probed,…
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…
Converged infrastructure is only as valuable as it is secure. Attacks on critical infrastructure have grown in frequency and sophistication as bad actors, including nation states, seek to disrupt or disable essential services or to gather…
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).…
One of DARPA’s original design features of the Internet was to ensure connectivity is resilient to partial failures. This was achieved through decentralization and recovery from failures. With more and more data stored online, we need…
According to a study by Inmarsat Enterprise that surveyed 125 businesses across the energy industry, 74% of respondents admitted that their processes to combat cybersecurity threats were lacking, while 73% of them reported that more could be done to protect…
As you evaluate ICS cyber security solutions to protect your critical infrastructure from threats, there are a few criteria your team must consider throughout the process. We've compiled a checklist to help you select a solution that…
Adopting Industry 4.0 means not only interconnecting IT and OT networks to build smart factories; it also means having shared responsibilities between IT administrators and OT engineers. These include accounting for assets such as equipment, underlying…
DevOps came about with the understanding that software development and information technology operations work together to improve deployment frequency, while maintaining service stability. In this process, security was not often part of an original build, but…
As billions of devices join industrial networks, the communication protocols that connect them become prime targets for cyberattacks. MQTT and CoAP are two of the most widely deployed messaging protocols in IoT and IIoT environments, yet…
