DroneSec's OPSEC Guide is C-UAS Hub's most read article in 2023! We're thankful to the C-UAS Hub team for sharing our valuable insights and intelligence, disseminating it to a trusted community who needs it most. The OPSEC Guide was a playbook of unique UAS tactics, techniques and procedures provided to Ukraine in March 2022. These TTPs were gleaned from intelligence observing cartels, gangs, terrorists, hackers and red team operators to help reduce the risk of friendly COTS UAS compromise, identification, intefererence, mitigation, forensics and exploitation by adversaries. The intelligence highlighted specific operational security measures and guided tutorials collected and analyzed within our UAS Threat Intelligence Platform. 📰 Read the article and download the whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/g4AM2dVY

The growing sophistication of drone threats demands a nuanced approach to national security. Meryl Dzikansky’s new blog explores the balance between effective #CUAS countermeasures and the imperative to minimize collateral impacts. Learn more:

#CyberAlerts The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) alerts to the rising threat of Chinese-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in critical infrastructure. CISA, in collaboration with the FBI, emphasizes the risk of sensitive information exposure to Chinese authorities due to the legal obligations of prominent Chinese-owned UAS manufacturers. The guidance urges critical infrastructure operators to transition to secure-by-design UAS systems with robust security measures, as Chinese-manufactured or insecure UAS devices pose a national security concern, risking unauthorized access to systems and data, according to Bryan Vorndan, FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code is a set of measures designed to enhance the security of ships and port facilities. While the ISPS Code has helped improve security in many areas, it does have limitations, particularly in addressing more sophisticated forms of attack such as those involving helicopters, drones, or rockets. The procedures outlined in the ISPS Code may be perceived as more relevant to traditional maritime threats, and there are concerns that they may not be fully equipped to handle newer, more complex security challenges. Additionally, some argue that the cost of implementing ISPS Code measures can disproportionately burden smaller, less affluent operators, potentially leaving them more vulnerable to security threats.

What factors are driving the growth of the #privatesecurity market? The growing concerns over terrorism, criminal activity, and #cybersecurity risks have led to increased demand for comprehensive safety measures across various sectors. The adoption of #newtechnologies such as #biometrics #artificialintelligence, surveillance, and #drones is reshaping the private security landscape, providing more efficient methods to monitor and respond to security risks. Additionally, expansion opportunities in emerging nations and the need for specialized security services contribute to the industry's growth.

"Unleashing the Future: Cyber Warfare and Drone Warfare collide, shaping the battleground of tomorrow. Cyber warfare and drone warfare are two rapidly evolving fields in the realm of warfare that have garnered significant attention in recent times. Cyber warfare encompasses the utilization of technology to execute attacks on computer systems, networks, and information infrastructure. This form of warfare involves the deployment of malware, hacking techniques, and other cyber weapons to disrupt or dismantle the operations of targeted entities. Government organizations, military systems, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure are among the sectors that can be targeted. The primary objectives often involve unauthorized access, theft of sensitive information, or disruption of the target's operations. On the other hand, drone warfare involves the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones for military purposes. These drones can be remotely operated or pre-programmed to execute specific tasks, including surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeted strikes. They possess real-time intelligence capabilities and can be equipped with a range of weapons, such as missiles and bombs. Drone warfare offers several advantages, including long-range capabilities, reduced risks to human pilots, and the ability to execute precision strikes. Both cyber warfare and drone warfare present unique advantages and challenges. Cyber warfare grants attackers the ability to operate covertly and remotely, making it challenging to attribute the attacks to a particular entity. Furthermore, the consequences of cyber warfare can be far-reaching, as it has the potential to disrupt critical services and infrastructure. However, defending against cyber attacks presents its own set of challenges due to the constantly evolving nature of cyber threats. On the other hand, drone warfare provides military forces with enhanced surveillance capabilities and the ability to precisely target enemies. Drones can operate in environments that may be hostile or inaccessible to manned aircraft. Nevertheless, concerns have been raised regarding the ethical implications of employing drones, including the potential for civilian casualties and privacy concerns. Nontheless , cyber warfare and drone warfare introduce new obstacles and opportunities in modern warfare. As technology continues to advance, it is imperative for nations to develop comprehensive strategies and defenses to mitigate the risks associated with these emerging domains of warfare. #TechnologicalAdvancements #NewFrontiers" #WarfareEvolved #EmbraceTheFuture

Australia's very own recent defense reviews confirmed the Royal Australian Navy's plan to have heavily armed optionally crewed warships enter the fleet during the 2030s. Whilst in the Air, The Royal Australian Airforce is introducing the MQ-4C Triton whilst continuing to evolve the MQ-28 Ghost Bat (Australian designation Loyal Wingman) locally. Underpinning these technologies is the need to for proactive approach to security of the networks that support these platforms demanding and complex requirements. Securing the networks of unmanned systems is crucial to protecting sensitive data and maintaining confidentiality. Unmanned systems often gather and transfer valuable information, including surveillance data, strategic plans, and real-time intelligence. If these transmissions are intercepted or compromised, national security could be placed at risk. SolarWinds Secure by Design is a leading methodology along with our Observability Platforms to provide a proactive approach to security of such networks.
