Risk management, operations, security - each organization and more play a role in ensuring OT security across the enterprise. Qiang Huang of Palo Alto Networks talks about new strategies to embrace and improve security of operational technology and connected devices.
Federal officials say a global operation has disrupted Snake, the Russian government's "foremost cyberespionage tool," wielded by its Turla nation-state hacking group. The sophisticated malware has been tied to the theft of secret and classified information from numerous governments and businesses.
With an ever-expanding threat landscape, organizations need to possess the right tools and knowledge to deal with cyberattacks. Dawn Cappelli, head of OT-CERT at Dragos, recommends training small and medium-sized businesses that are just starting their operation technology journey.
AI Trust Risk and Security Management - AI TRiSM - is a new Gartner research category, and distinguished analyst Avivah Litan is assigned to it. She discussed today's AI attack surface, including attacks that use AI as well as attacks against it and trends to watch in the second half of 2023.
White House cybersecurity priorities: The Biden administration continues to have a "relentless focus" on improving critical infrastructure security, disrupting ransomware and combating the illicit use of cryptocurrency, said Deputy National Security Adviser Anne Neuberger.
Pre-RSA social media gaming predicted it. Many predicted they would loath it. And it happened: Discussions at this year's RSA conference again and again came back to generative artificial intelligence - but with a twist. Even some of the skeptics professed their conversion to the temple of AI.
A renaissance around data protection has taken advantage of artificial intelligence and machine learning to boost data classification and governance, said Forcepoint CEO Manny Rivelo. Advances in areas like generative AI allow hackers to form sophisticated attacks that evade defenses like sandboxes.
Arguably, the hottest topic of RSA Conference 2023 was the impact of AI and machine learning. OpenText Cybersecurity Senior Vice President of Marketing and Strategy Geoff Bibby said organizations need to develop AI policies, but they really need to focus on simplifying their security environment.
Many infrastructures have both OT and IT systems, making data and device transfer between the two systems difficult. Also, some OT devices are outdated while IT systems use modern cloud devices. And the shortage of training is another important hurdle, said OPSWAT CEO Benny Czarny.
Federal authorities warn that hackers could take over genetic testing devices manufactured by Illumina, although neither the manufacturer nor the Food and Drug Administration has received reports of attacks. The vulnerabilities affect Illumina's Universal Copy Service software.
OT attacks have doubled. Mark Cristiano, global commercial director of cybersecurity services at Rockwell Automation, discusses how organizations can develop a strategic approach to OT security that aligns with their risk profile, cyber maturity and ability to absorb change.
Nurse call systems present a top cybersecurity risk in clinical environments, but so do an array of other similarly connected nonmedical devices commonly found in healthcare settings, says a new research study by security vendor Armis.
Threat actors are exploiting Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control in the wild to create backdoors and to run cryptocurrency miners. Researchers observed a recent campaign that targeted at least 60 Kubernetes clusters by deploying DaemonSets to hijack and steal resources from the victims' clusters.
A North Korean backdoor targeting Linux desktop users shares infrastructure with the hacking group behind the 3CX software supply chain hack. Cybersecurity firm Eset analyzed the backdoor and connected it with a Pyongyang fake job recruiting campaign generally known as Operation Dream Job.
Sanitize IT gear before decommissioning is well-trod cybersecurity advice given to corporations everywhere and yet many persist in disposing of equipment still laden with sensitive data. Cybersecurity firm Eset says it found a wealth of corporate data on secondhand routers.
