Through the lens of the Florida water supply hack, Dale Peterson teaches how events like these remind us to take the necessary steps to maintain our cybersecurity. Founder and chair of S4 Events, Dale has been helping security professionals effectively and efficiently manage risk to their critical assets for over 15 years.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/sh

Increased uptime? Check. Better access to outside expertise? Check. Improved first-time-fix rate? Check.These are just some of the benefits of industrial remote access. Yet many customers are reluctant to embrace remote access. Not only that, but incidents such as the breach at the Oldsmar water utility might increase organizations’ reluctance to use remote

Looking back on 2020, we can honestly say it was a year like no other. We faced wildfires, hurricanes, a raucous election season and, of course, a pandemic that forced millions of people to work, socialize and attend school from home. For cybersecurity teams, 2020 presented a unique challenge. How do you continue to offer defenses for networks and data when

Con la llegada de COVID-19  las organizaciones de todo el mundo fueron obligadas a hacer la transición de sus empleados a trabajar desde casa, en un momento en que la infraestructura de red de las organizaciones es más compleja que nunca. Esta complejidad no es única de los entornos de IT. De hecho, las máquinas y los procesos de producción también se e

By now, we have a good understanding of what secure remote access (SRA) is and why organizations might choose to enable it for their OT environments. We also know that securing IT-OT collaboration, leveraging guidance from best practice frameworks and using an automated solution can help organizations to implement this type of access. Even so, we still don’t

As employees increasingly work remotely, it is more important than ever to maintain visibility and threat detection in a remote working world. We have seen a significant increase in state-sponsored attacks and malicious phishing campaigns, and this trend is expected to continue. This period of remote work is a good time for enterprise to make sure endpoint

COVID-19 forced organizations all over the world to transition their employees to a work-from-home policy. That change came at a time when organizations’ connected infrastructure is more complex than ever. Such complexity doesn’t just extend across IT environments, either. Indeed, machines and production processes are also becoming increasingly complex as or

As the business world navigates the ups and downs of today’s economy, a mindset shift is required to maintain cyber resilience. Cybersecurity, often an afterthought in a strong economy, must not be neglected in responding to shifts in the business landscape. As more companies expand their remote workforce, the number of endpoints with access to corpora

The transition to a remote workforce has happened so quickly that many security teams have not had an opportunity to apply desired controls. Organizations are dealing with remote access and execution privileges that were unplanned even a couple of months ago. The use of personal devices and home workspaces has increased potential risks. Typical controls such

With 316 million Americans being asked to stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and nearly half of the U.S. population still working from home, video conferencing has suddenly become a critical tool for businesses. In fact, tools for remote work have spiked 84 percent since February, with video conferencing platforms like Webex recently sharing that they

A quick web search for “chatbots and security” brings up results warning you about the security risks of using these virtual agents. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll find that this artificial intelligence (AI) technology could actually help address many work-from-home cybersecurity challenges — such as secure end-to-end encryption a

As organizations adapt and respond to the impact of COVID-19, significant new challenges are on the rise as a majority of the workforce has shifted to remote work arrangements. Employee-owned devices and home networks that were not formerly protected by enterprise security controls have rapidly expanded many organizations’ attack surfaces. At the same

The presence of internet of things (IoT) devices in employee’s homes is a neglected item in many enterprise threat models. Caution is certainly warranted here, but it’s entirely possible to improve your risk awareness and secure smart devices in a calm and measured way. Overlooking privacy and security risks has consequences. It’s in everyo

The malware discussed in this blog saw input from X-Force researchers Andre Piva and Ofir Ozer. It was initially described in a blog post by X-Force’s Maor Wiesen and Limor Kessem. The IBM Trusteer cybercrime research labs specialize in the detection and counteraction of the crimeware and attacks operated by organized cybercrime gangs. In one of our re

A great way to mitigate the effects of a cyber incident is to analyze attack patterns. This requires analysts to build a pattern up from a single security event, such as a command execution or malicious file download, into a collection of data that can help them trace and defend against an attack. To accomplish this level of analysis, security professionals
