As industrial organizations continue to digitize their operations, they are pulling production data from across their operations into IT systems. As more OT systems are connected to enterprise IT networks, this data can be shared to help drive business growth. But with this increased connectivity comes increased risk....
With ever-increasing threats of cyberattacks, outages, and data breaches, building digital trust into business operations is as crucial as it’s ever been. But most companies know they could be doing more to assess and avoid vulnerabilities in the enterprise, in the software supply chain, and with connected/IoT...
75% of OT organizations reported at least one intrusion in the last year, and nearly 33% of respondents reported being victims of a ransomware attack. In addition, intrusions from malware and phishing increased 12% and 9%, respectively. In short, OT security is under attack.
This report is based on data from an...
In the evolving landscape of CIP environments, Energy companies are facing mounting challenges as the dependence on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) grows every day. A historical lack of tools and processes to properly monitor and maintain a PKI has left most organizations with unreliable identity and encryption...
The Russian military hacked into surveillance cameras to spy on Ukrainian air defenses and Kyiv's critical infrastructure during the missile and drone strikes on the capital city Tuesday. Ukraine has blocked and dismantled the cameras, and it urged users to stop sharing security camera feeds online.
Legacy medical gear continues to pose big cyber challenges to healthcare entities. A joint report by the Food and Drug Administration and MITRE Corp. emphasizes the importance of entities taking a consistent risk-based approach to managing these and other devices, said Jessica Wilkerson of the FDA.
As a legacy protocol, DICOM lacks proper security measures, and as the healthcare industry modernizes and moves to the cloud, there is a significant risk of patient data exposure, said Sina Yazdanmehr, a senior IT security consultant at Aplite.
The rapid digitization of manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure industries has brought about a significant transformation in how Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) interact. This convergence presents exciting opportunities for efficiency and innovation, but it also introduces...
No matter whether you make cookies or cars, there’s almost no tolerance for downtime in Operational Technology and Industrial Control System (OT/ICS) environments. In these OT/ICS environments today, the concept of migrating industrial manufacturing cybersecurity to the cloud has allowed for gains in reliability,...
The convergence of IT and OT has blurred traditional security boundaries, leaving industrial networks vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks. Zero Trust, a security model that assumes no user or device is inherently trustworthy, offers a robust approach to protecting critical OT systems. By continuously verifying...
In an age reliant on operational technology, ensuring robust security for diverse industries is crucial. Join us as we discuss operational challenges, highlighting specific threats faced by businesses today. Explore how the powerful alliance between HCLTech and Microsoft empowers organizations to safeguard critical...
Welcome to the Cyber Frontier, where Industry 4.0 innovation meets the critical need for cybersecurity.
In the ever-expanding landscape of Industry 4.0, seamless communication between OT and IT systems is not only an innovation catalyst but a potential vulnerability. This whitepaper dives into the unique challenges...
In the latest weekly update, editors at Information Security Media Group discuss why a growing number of U.S. and Canadian hospitals have been forced to turn away patients because of cyberattacks, innovations that have surfaced during the Israel-Hamas war and the future of industrial automation.
In partnership with the Cyentia Institute, Rockwell Automation analyzed cybersecurity events involving compromised OT/ICS, taking a deep dive into the origin and history of those events, as well as the OT implications.
