CMO Opens Up on Fallout, Resilience During Israel-Hamas War

The surprise attacks on targets in Israel have been accompanied by a slew of cyber incidents in the Middle Eastern nation.

Ransomware Works. That’s the simplest way to explain why incidents of ransomware attacks have been growing steadily for the past two years — with no end in sight.

A breakdown on how Ransomware infects industrial organizations, as well as mitigation steps to prevent such kinds of attacks in the future.

The U.S. recently facilitated a ‘Counter Ransomware Initiative’ among over 30 countries and the European Union, with the goal of accelerating cooperation to counter ransomware that is emerging as a significant risk to critical infrastructure, essential services, public safety, consumer protection and privacy, and economic prosperity.

Insights into Ransomware attacks, how they spread in industrial networks, and how to prevent them from happening.

Since the outbreaks of Wannacry & NotPetya ransomware attacks in 2017, we've been witnessing daily occurrences of attacks affecting OT networks that originated on the IT side. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) also highlighted this issue for this very simple reason. It works.

As industrial systems become increasingly connected to IT, Cloud and ERP systems, they become increasingly exposed to cyber threats such as ransomware. In fact, cyber threats for industrial control systems (ICS) are on the rise.

SCADAfence, a leader in high-level operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) security solutions, provides a non-intrusive platform designed for full coverage of large-scale networks. The company’s goal is to help OT networks leverage industrial IoT resources safely by actively mitigating threats. SCADAfence is known for its cutting-edge detection accuracy, asset discovery, and visibility, as well as seamless integration within existing security operations.

The actions of the hackers who recently targeted water facilities in Israel show their sophistication and prove that they knew exactly what they were doing, according to people with knowledge of the attacks.

Business continuity planning (BCP) is the process involved in creating a system that prevents potential threats to a company, and also aids in its recovery. This plan outlines how an organization’s assets and personnel can be protected during the current COVID-19 crisis, and how an organization can function normally throughout the crisis.

Pharmaceuticals are prime targets for nation state-sponsored hackers as they own crucial intellectual property on ground-breaking new drugs representing years of research & millions in investment.

It seems like it has become impossible to innovate with marketing. But some people are just so creative that they prove this notion wrong.

Internet of Things devices that weren't built with security in mind open the door to downtime, intellectual property theft, and worse. The problem is, if you can't see the cyberattacks against these devices' vulnerabilities, you can't fight them.

A "firewall sandwich", represents little more than speed bumps in the road to organised hackers. To safeguard spreading security perimeters manufacturers must monitor all activity on OT networks.
