Save the Date: Nexus Conference 2024: Sept. 10-12

Topics:

Operational technology’s (OT) exposure to cyber threats extends beyond the confines of technical software and firmware vulnerabilities. The supply chain and insiders are two significant areas of concern, where risks can originate from third-party vendors or suppliers with inadequate cybersecurity measures or those inside the firewall with similarly privileged access.

Mitigating Exposures the Key to Cyber Resilience

Cybersecurity experts are cautious about the new National Security Memorandum (NSM), which replaces the decade-old Presidential Policy Directive. Proponents say, will help strengthen the security of critical infrastructure within the United States, but because it's short on prescriptive details, security experts are unsure of the path forward.

Expert Don C. Weber writes that safety devices are within scope for cybersecurity risk assessments. This includes conducting high-level risk assessments to assemble documentation for specific Systems-under-Consideration (SuC) of the safety solution, performing a vulnerability assessment of the SuC, feeding the results into the detailed risk assessment to allow the risk management team to identify and address residual risks.
