Cybersecurity Leadership

Up to now, the IoT industry has relied mainly on security by obscurity and the results have been predictable

Read how organizations must draw up a security framework for their IoT solutions and proactively adopt best practices to efficiently mitigate security risks.

Innovation in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) may well be helping businesses get the best from their data, but it’s also helping cyber attackers see new ways to attack these critical systems.

Incorporating cybersecurity best practices in developing IoT systems is swiftly becoming the need of the hour. And businesses must put their best foot forward since customer engagement and trust begin with the assurance of information security.

Security experts find flaws in the U.K. government's bill to secure IoT devices.

It is not rare for OT Security to end up in some form of organisational no-man's-land, poorly integrated into wider security practices.

Creating and building a “Secure Smart City” requires strong Private Public Partnerships that incorporate people, policies, processes and technology from both government and industry into the overall strategy process.

Keeping IoT safe in the future will require securing the networks themselves. Focusing on the devices is a never-ending battle that will only become more burdensome.

Amid increasing digital attacks in industrial environments, CEOs might be held personally responsible for Cyber-Physical Security incidents.

5G networks are exciting and open the door to many new possibilities for IoT, however it also comes with security risks as manufacturers rush to dominate the new untapped market their devices.

Many manufacturers of connected devices fail to recognize the IoT security implications of customers tinkering with their products.

New guidelines offer a data template for cities to apply across sectors and initiatives to increase cyber-physical security and compliance and minimize risk.

Securing the new endpoint: Making the IoT transformation safe for enterprises.

As IoT devices become more common, lack of a clear IoT security strategy could leave businesses open to attacks

While securing OT systems can seem overwhelming…the task is not impossible. The power of attack surface management provides the technology needed to lock down assets in your organization.

For today’s fragmented Internet of Things (IoT) to reach its potential as a fully interconnected ecosystem, the answer may lie in the convergence of cybersecurity and the IoT.

Operational technology (OT) networks control the devices critical to the continued operations of production lines, power plants, and energy supplies, and as such are typically segmented from a company’s internet-facing IT networks to better isolate critical hardware from cyberattacks. Now security researchers are warning of the risks posed by the embedded devices that sit on those OT networks.

As smart cities become the new normal for urban living, they must be resilient against the speed and sophistication of modern cyber threats.

New research on cyberattacks in the sector show that despite rising incidents healthcare providers remain inadequately protected and perpetrators continue to escape justice.

Increasing connectivity through 5G networks also comes with heightened cybersecurity threats, authorities need to build security regimes that protect not only 5G infrastructure and services, but the applications and IoT devices.

Smart Cities are undoubtedly the future. It has brought an onset of new technology, new developments in infrastructure solutions and even enhanced the original concept of smart cities.

As networks become increasingly complex and the growth of the Internet of Things shows no signs of slowing, the challenge of keeping businesses cyber secure and minimising risk is greater than ever.

5G will have a huge impact on society, which is why it's crucial to determine the security risks this new technology could present.

Cyber-criminals are the new entrepreneurs of the 21st Century: intelligent business people who have identified innovative ways to capitalise on others’ failings. They succeed because the attack surface is expanding and security hasn’t been built into networks and devices from the ground up.

The legislation that is working its way towards law in the UK should be a model for the U.S.
