Manufacturing Resilience Tips

James LaBonty writes about manufacturing's increased exposures as assets are connected to the internet and shares four things CISOs need to know.

Internet-facing cyber-physical systems (CPS) are a consequential and structural risk in many modern manufacturing environments, one that can introduce disruption without the need for much sophistication on a threat actor’s part.

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.

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.

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.
