Tearing Down the 'Set It and Forget It' Mindset

Security Breach ·

2024/08/22

Send us a Text Message.I recently watched an interesting documentary called Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War on Netflix. Great watch – I’d highly recommend it. Essentially it positioned nearly every prominent geo-political event since World War II as fallout from the U.S. dropping the nuclear bomb on Japan to end World War II.Similarly, we can look at a number of recent, major cybersecurity events that have their origins in attacks on critical infrastructure. Whether you want to go al...

Send us a Text Message.When I was a kid, we always looked forward to my dad’s work picnic. He was a tool and dye maker for a leading caster manufacturer that would rent out a local park, make a ton of food and put on various games and activities for the families. One of the highlights of this day was a softball game pitting the office versus the shop.The good-natured shots that were fired across the dugouts of this summer classic reminds me of the challenges we see in industrial cybersecurity...

2024/08/08

Send us a Text Message.An ethical cyber researcher breaks down the 'tsunami of exposed data' he continues to uncover.When it comes to solving industrial cybersecurity's biggest challenges, I think we have to continue to ask questions that simultaneously tackle basic blocking and tackling concerns, as well as those that lead to bad news. Both prevent us from putting our heads in the sand in trying to ignore the shortcomings of our current strategies, and I’d argue that a great deal of positive...

2024/08/02

Send us a Text Message.The landscape of industrial cybersecurity continues to change and evolve, and demands a vigilant monitoring of the next threat, vulnerability or potential soft spot in our defenses. That’s why we continue to produce Security Breach, and, by the way, continue to be so appreciative of the growth and support we’ve received from each of you.That said, once in a while it’s good to take a look back at some of the ongoing lessons that we’re learning, especially when the input ...

2024/07/24

Send us a Text Message.According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, nearly 20 percent of the organizations surveyed stated that they have experienced a breach stemming from a compromise in their supply chain, or a vulnerability related to it. The average cost of these breaches was estimated at just under $4.5 million. Their data also found that attacks emanating from the supply chain had a longer lifecycle than average.The increased costs and complexities of addressing supply chain attack...

There's No 'Plant the Flag' Moment in Cybersecurity

Security Breach ·

2024/07/11

When looking at industrial cybersecurity, more attention is being paid to how workers are logging in to access critical machinery, software or data. And according to Trustwave Threat Intelligence’s recent Manufacturing Threat Landscape report, 45 percent of attacks experienced by manufacturers stemmed from the bad guys accessing credentials.Whether by utilizing brute-force tactics, submitting fake support tickets, or purchasing logins on the Dark Web, this seems to prove that hackers would mu...

'Nobody Should Get Ransomwared'

2024/06/27

As we’ve discussed numerous times on Security Breach, terms like change, evolution and constant are more than just buzz terms – they’re a simple reality of working in the industrial OT space.Whether we’re discussing threat actors from Stuxnet to Lockbit, tactics from social engineering to double-extortion ransomware, or vulnerability sources ranging from weak passwords to embedded secure-by design concerns, the ever-expanding attack surface is a constant reminder of change and the evolving na...

The Protection and Productivity of Zero Trust

Security Breach ·

2024/06/20

Over the last nearly 100 episodes of Security Breach we’ve discussed a wide range of strategies for protecting the manufacturing enterprise. But perhaps the most polarizing of these has been Zero Trust. While some unwaveringly champion the cause of this approach, others question the ways in which it is typically deployed. Perhaps this dichotomy is best represented in Palo Alto and ABI Research’s The State of OT Security report. It found that 93 percent of those surveyed were familiar with Zer...

OT's Legacy Tech Challenges

Security Breach ·

2024/06/12

One of the more common obstacles that we discuss here on Security Breach is how increased connectivity has combined with new Industry 4.0 technologies to constantly expand the OT attack surface. In the midst of all this expansion, it’s easy to either overlook cybersecurity concerns, or put too much trust in the embedded security features of the new assets. So, while this usually brings up conversations about endpoint security, integration processes and secure-by-design protocols, let’s t...

Shutting Down 'Spy Board' Threats

2024/06/05

Those of you with a military or law enforcement connection are probably, and unfortunately, familiar with the term collateral damage. While this phrase has a legacy in these environments, it’s also become an unwelcome addition to the realm of cybersecurity.Examples of this dynamic can be found in a number of hacktivist attacks that targeted infrastructure in a certain region, but either through unrealized connections or other bad actors simply following the blueprint, impacted facilities acro...

Viewing hacks as diseases to address evolving threats, vulnerabilities and tools like AI.Like many of you, I recently dove into Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). And while there’s a plethora of data housed in the report that could fuel conversations on a multitude of topics, I chose the following two pieces of information:While credential harvesting and phishing attacks still led the way, the use of exploitable vulnerabilities to access networks tripled from last ...

Many attacks on manufacturers are just the first step in going after even bigger targets.One of the inescapable truths about the industrial sector is that it is usually the ultimate proving ground for product performance. When we look at some of the technologies that have created seismic social shifts, tools like operational software, wireless connectivity and numerous monitoring devices were not ready for the demanding industrial environment right away.When it comes to cybersecurity, that dy...
