Security Breach

Send us Fan Mail Recently, the conversation in industrial cybersecurity has shifted from detection to response. The onset of faster-moving and easier to scale attacks driven by AI makes detection significantly more difficult, and faced with limited resources, it’s easy to understand why many are embracing the mantra of “it’s not if, but when you’re attacked” and allocating more time and money to their response capabilities. However, this episode's guest offers some insight on the flaws ...

Send us Fan Mail If there’s one area where the old adage of “you have to see it to believe it” might not resonate as strongly, it’s OT cybersecurity. I say this because one of the biggest challenges for our sector continues to be visibility. Although it’s clearly one of those blocking and tackling-type elements, identifying and securing all our assets, endpoints, connections and devices is tough. And not only do we know this – so do the bad guys, and they’re continuing to find new and c...

Send us Fan Mail Although the need to defend the networks, data and endpoints of critical infrastructure dates back to the first time a PLC was connected to an HMI, the realization of how damaging such a compromise could be was probably Stuxnet. And while we’ve progressed enough to typically spot an unknown or malicious player armed with a suspicious USB, the threat landscape has expanded, and the bad actors have evolved. Combining those factors with a lack of funds, training, expertise and r...

Send us Fan Mail Name a prominent AI company, and chances are they’ve been in the news for the wrong reasons over the last couple of months. Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta have all made headlines as their AI agents have escaped the testing sandbox and either exposed vulnerabilities or performed outright hacks of other systems. The underlying engine driving these attacks is fueled by both competitive pressures and consumer demands. In manufacturing the use of AI has escalated at a furious pace, as...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we’re doubling up on a couple of topics that continue to be at the top of industrial cybersecurity’s critical issue list – ransomware and artificial intelligence. The confluence of these two topics is interesting to break down in considering how AI has contributed to the speed and scale of ransomware attacks, while the growth of these extortion campaigns has led to more enterprises seeking out AI solutions to bolster their cyber defenses. To discuss these i...
