Renewables Dominate Electricity Generation Growth The world is experiencing a revolution in how electricity is generated. As climate poses an existential threat to global ecologies and economies, the future belongs – and increasingly – to companies that can reliably and efficiently generate electricity from low- or zero-carbon sources. The transition to wind, solar and hydropower, […]
Ransomware Threatens Operational Systems Ransomware dominated news headlines in the first half of 2021, particularly with the attack on Colonial Pipeline. While this notable incident did not involve a direct breach of the OT network, pipeline systems were disabled by the company, causing gas shortages along the US East Coast. This attack highlighted the link […]
Why has OT security suddenly become a hot topic? We live in a rapidly changing, digital world where companies are delivering increasingly complex Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) business solutions. The key objective in Digital Transformation is to find efficiency and productivity gains that significantly impact the bottom line. Across industry sectors, we […]
The notion that IoT devices are secure by design and/or that security features are enabled by default is deceptive, auditing and controls must match the fundamental challenges of IoT security today to be prepared for zero-day attacks. IoT projects promise unparalleled ROI for monitoring, diagnostics and analytics, enabling new business models. However, these projects lack […]
The concept of Digital Transformation is based on 3 pillars; High Processing Power (xPU Power) High volume storage Power (Storage) High speed communication power (Communications) All 3 technological foundations are related to the data generated/processed. In the coming Industry x.0 era, all industries will be based on data and its analysis. In order to get […]
In a rapidly changing world, the question is no longer whether you need to transform, but how. This change may differ for each organization and each business area. High connectivity, increased processing power and the ability to store high volumes of high-speed data appear to be the key elements in making Digital Transformation happen. But […]
Broad, Integrated and Automated Security with Real-Time Cybersecurity and Visibility for Industrial Control Networks As the backbone of critical infrastructure, industrial control systems (ICS) are found in all industries, including energy, power, water, manufacturing and even military applications. Over the last decade, ECS has become more automated and advanced, but also more connected to traditional […]
WHAT IS THE MITRE ATT&CK FRAMEWORK FOR EX/OT SECURITY? The MITRE ATT&CK framework threat modeling for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) classifies malicious cybersecurity incidents based on their operational technology (OT) environment. This framework design classifies each incident as a specific tactic and maps each tactic to one or more high-level technical categories. In essence, this […]
Cyberattacks can cause catastrophic business disruptions and lead to financial losses reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. The World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Risk Report ranked cyberattacks on critical infrastructure that disrupt operations and disrupt operations among the top five emerging global risks. Accenture also estimates in its research that the number of cyber attacks […]
When Florida law enforcement announced a cyberattack in the Oldsmar water district, we were startled to learn that cyberattacks can actually reach inside our homes, right down to the water we drink and use. It was alarming to learn that a cyber attacker had leveraged the TeamViewer app to remotely access the city’s water treatment […]
