If software is eating the world, cloud computing is eating infrastructure. Look no further than a push for cloud-hosted alternatives to SCADA systems. Cloud-hosted SCADA presents both opportunities and challenges for OT organizations, said the U.K. National Cyber Security Center.
What if the world had access to memory-safe hardware for both IT and operational technology environments that could outright block many types of vulnerabilities from being exploited as well as make code safer to run on legacy systems? Enter the U.K.'s Digital Security by Design initiative.
The many kinds of OT and IoT gear that are not regulated medical devices but are critical to run hospitals and other care facilities present a variety of cybersecurity and patient safety concerns, said Dr. Benoit Desjardins, professor of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Medicine.
Healthcare organizations and makers of medical devices need to think about how to safeguard their critical medical gear against future cyberthreats, including the looming dangers posed by quantum computing, said Mike Nelson, global vice president of digital trust at security firm DigiCert.
Nozomi Networks notched a $100 million funding round led by Schneider Electric and Mitsubishi, spotlighting the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure, industrial control systems and IoT networks in light of the increased destructiveness of attacks.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office found that CISA lacks the skilled staff to effectively share information with critical infrastructure operators about threats. Also, the GAO found that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration lacked an information-sharing process.
Cybercrime reports submitted by victims to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center surged last year, and the total reported losses exceeded $12.5 billion. Investment fraud and business email compromise losses dominated, and ransomware attacks spared almost no critical infrastructure sector.
Fusty and fussy operational technology devices are probably the farthest things away from a web server. Except - not anymore. But web servers embedded into industrial firmware are also a potential bonanza for hackers, say researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Cybersecurity truism: Focusing on the basics helps defenders arrest many of today's top attacks, as well as tomorrow's. While IT defenders have been repeating that mantra for years, experts say it also applies to operational technology environments, including ICS and SCADA systems.
In his first week in his new role as interim CEO of SSH Communications Security, Rami Raulas shares insights on the company’s strategic focus on zero trust, operational technology security, and quantum-safe cryptography to address evolving cybersecurity challenges.
SSH Communications Security CEO Teemu Tunkelo left the Finnish cybersecurity vendor abruptly Monday after low license sales in late 2023 slowed the company's growth. No reason was given for Tunkelo's departure, which stems from an agreement between the CEO and SSH and will take effect immediately.
It's not just medical device cybersecurity that's keeping some healthcare security leaders up at night - it's also the risks posed by other critical connected gear that patients and clinicians depend upon, said Ali Youssef, director of medical device and emerging tech security at Henry Ford Health System.
The Biden administration's focus on addressing long-standing vulnerabilities in IT and OT at U.S. ports is a step in the right direction, and new incident reporting mandates could significantly benefit smaller, resource-strapped ports, experts told ISMG.
Threats to critical infrastructure are on the rise, as threat actors continue to scan networks, attack networks and devices, and try to get past access controls. At the same time, according to a new report, sectors such as manufacturing have experienced a 230% increase in vulnerabilities.
The FDA's multifaceted approach to strengthening medical device security centers on several key areas, including enhanced regulatory oversight, industry collaboration and a recent organizational change that raises the profile of the agency's device work, said the FDA's Dr. Suzanne Schwartz.
