Inventory to Insight

Dan Ricci cautions CPS asset owners that an asset list is not an inventory. Inventories are organized, updated, and physically validated to be effective.

ICS Advisory founder Dan Ricci explains why a list of operational technology (OT) assets is not an asset inventory. Asset inventories must be organized, updated, and physically validated. Only then can this facet of asset management support enterprise-wide risk management and cyber-physical systems protection programs.

AJ Eserjose, Regional Director for Operational Technology Information Sharing and Analysis Center (OT-ISAC), writes about how the information shared among members of a hub such as OT-ISAC creates a predictive resilience. Attack, threat, and risk signals are aggregated from contributions made by different members into comprehensive intelligence that improves overall cyber and operational resilience.

Project Glasswing and the Claude Mythos Preview have caused an upheaval related to vulnerability discovery and exploit development. On Nexus, former NSA Director Adm. Michael S. Rogers introduces some nuance to the discussion. The nuance that isn’t being articulated enough, he says, is that Project Glasswing is largely a defensive effort that does more to level the playing field between threat actors and defenders than we may realize.

OT has a cybersecurity skills gap. Leading organizations, however, are responding by building cross-functional IT/OT security teams, investing in OT-specific training, creating hybrid cybersecurity roles, and leveraging managed OT security services to bridge immediate gaps. They are also prioritizing asset visibility, documentation, and standardized processes to reduce reliance on tribal knowledge.

OT Cybersecurity Faces a Skills Gap

Data centers have been targeted for kinetic attacks during the ongoing Iran war, and given their strategic prioritization during the conflict, they could be targeted for cyberattacks as well. Nexus contributor James LaBonty explains the risk and potential vulnerabilities, including building management systems and other cyber-physical systems.

Rapid7 Principal Security Research (IoT) lead Deral Heiland joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss work his team did on how attackers might weaponize cellular-based IoT. Rapid7 conducted three phases of this research, with the most recent digging into how attackers with access to these systems can abuse them to gain unauthorized access, potentially exfiltrate critical data, or pivot into backend network infrastructure.
