SCADA and DEFENSA: Real-Time Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure   Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are the backbone of modern industrial operations, monitoring and controlling processes in sectors ranging from power plants to water treatment facilities. These systems collect real-time data, allowing operators to make informed decisions and maintain efficient operations. However, as SCADA systems become increasingly connected, they've also become prime targets for cyberattacks.   Enter Akimbo Technologies Inc's DEFENSA, a groundbreaking cybersecurity solution designed to protect SCADA and other mission-critical systems. Unlike traditional security measures that rely on anomaly detection and often struggle with false positives, DEFENSA employs a unique approach using dynamic distributed fault-tolerant computing.   DEFENSA's innovative architecture enables real-time detection, correction, and healing of cyber threats, particularly man-in-the-middle attacks. It achieves this through several key features:   1. Packet Replication: Data packets are replicated and sent across different network paths. 2. Disjointed Routing: Each packet takes a separate route, making it difficult for attackers to intercept all data. 3. Efficient Voting System: At the destination, packets are compared to identify and nullify any compromised data.   This approach allows DEFENSA to operate autonomously, without relying on cloud connections or AI, which can introduce latency and vulnerabilities. For SCADA systems, where every millisecond counts and errors can have catastrophic consequences, DEFENSA's ability to provide instantaneous protection without false positives or negatives is crucial.   By redefining cybersecurity to include real-time correction and healing, DEFENSA offers a new paradigm in protecting our critical infrastructure, ensuring operational continuity and public safety in an increasingly connected world.   For more information download our whitepapers at https://lnkd.in/eB-38dJ3 or email us at info@akimbotechnologies.com   #CriticalInfrastructure #SCADASecurity #CyberResilience #IndustrialCybersecurity #OTSecurity #RealTimeProtection Transport Canada - Transports Canada Royal Canadian Navy | Marine royale canadienne Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes Thales Accenture Delloite Consulting Saab Fortinet DRS RADA Technologies Defence Research and Development Canada Ottawa Research Centre (DRDC Ottawa) Calian Group

AT&T's $370K Ransom: The High-Stakes Game of Data Deletion According to a recent article in WIRED, AT&T paid a hacker $370,000 to delete stolen phone records of millions of customers. The breach, disclosed in July 2024, occurred through an unsecured Snowflake cloud storage account. The hacker, part of the ShinyHunters group, received 5.7 bitcoin on May 17, 2024, as confirmed by cryptocurrency tracking tools.   A security researcher known as Reddington facilitated the negotiation between AT&T and the hacker. The stolen data included call and text metadata for nearly all AT&T cellular customers from May to October 2022 and January 2, 2023. It also contained information about non-AT&T customers who communicated with AT&T users.   The breach was part of a larger hacking spree affecting over 150 companies with poorly secured Snowflake accounts. AT&T delayed public disclosure at the request of the Department of Justice due to potential national security concerns.   John Erin Binns, an American hacker living in Turkey, allegedly obtained the data initially. However, he was arrested in May 2024 for an unrelated 2021 T-Mobile breach. Consequently, another hacker received the payment from AT&T.   Despite the payment and alleged deletion of the complete dataset, risks may remain as other individuals might possess data samples. AT&T stated that the stolen information did not include call or message content or customer names. However, it did contain some cell site ID numbers, which could potentially reveal general location data for a subset of the records.   The incident highlights the ongoing challenges companies face in securing cloud-based data and the complex negotiations that can ensue following a major data breach.

Uncharted Waters: The Hidden Cyber Dangers Threatening Global Shipping   The global maritime industry, responsible for transporting 90-95% of all shipped goods, faces a growing threat from cyberattacks. This vulnerability extends to both ports and vessels, with potential consequences that could ripple through individual companies, national economies, and even the global financial system.   Vessels, ranging from small freight carriers to massive container ships and luxury yachts, are particularly susceptible due to varying levels of technological sophistication and security measures. Attack vectors include Wi-Fi, radio communications, satellite systems, and insider threats. The impact of successful attacks could be catastrophic, as demonstrated by historical maritime accidents and theoretical analyses.   Professor Kevin Jones, a maritime cybersecurity expert, highlights the potential for devastating economic consequences. He explains how disrupting just a few major ports could lead to cascading failures in supply chains, affecting everything from food supplies to power generation.   The motivations behind these attacks vary, including hacktivism, financial gain, and geopolitical objectives. Nation-state actors, particularly Russia, have already demonstrated capabilities to interfere with GPS signals and satellite communications. Cybercriminal gangs are also targeting the sector with ransomware attacks.   The maritime industry's increasing reliance on industrial IoT and connected devices exacerbates these risks. Weak security measures and undocumented backdoors in these systems could potentially allow attackers to gain unauthorized control over vessels.   As the threat landscape evolves, the need for robust risk assessment and mitigation strategies becomes crucial. There is clearly an urgent need for the maritime sector to address these cybersecurity challenges to protect the global economy's most vital supply chain.   To read more about this topic go to Kevin Townsend’s article in Security week magazine : https://lnkd.in/g_mi63zb   #CyberSecurity #MaritimeSecurity #SupplyChain #GlobalTrade #CyberThreat #IndustrialIoT
