Correlating Signal with Context

OT-ISAC Regional Director AJ Eserjose writes about the changing defensive landscape around OT, and AI's machine-speed capabilities to contextualize the environment.

Operational resilience must evolve as artificial intelligence becomes a prominent tool in the protection of operational technology (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS). Defenders may use AI to correlate operational signals at machine speed to make more context-informed judgments about the intent behind changes to a facility.

Mike Ratliff, CISO at Providence, one of the country's largest not-for-profit healthcare providers, writes about his organization's attempt to re-think GRC as Governance, Risk, Attack Surface Management, and Compliance (GRAC). Ratliff describes five areas GRAC improves the overall security program, including the quantification and prioritization of risk, the integration of attack surface management, and an architecture that supports secure-by-design principles.

Rebuilding Legacy GRC from the Ground Up

Mike Ratliff
Current OT cybersecurity budgeting approaches reflect a misalignment of prioritizing surface-level defenses over architectural shortcomings. Instead, CISOs should demand vendors deliver products that are secure by design, and address systemic failures over a reactive approach to the security of cyber-physical systems.

ASL Roma 1’s HOPE (Healthcare Operational Protection & Excellence) project stands as a cutting-edge initiative in healthcare cybersecurity, leveraging advanced technologies and innovative methodologies to strengthen organizational resilience. Here we lay the foundation for explaining how our CMDB becomes a key tool for proactively managing vulnerabilities, especially during waves of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) that can quickly disrupt complex environments.

Gentry Lane, founder of Nemesis Global, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss how a Cold War tactic known as Salami Cuts is being used against U.S. critical infrastructure. Adversaries who cannot operate on equal footing on a kinetic battlefield, are finding cyberspace to be a level playing field. The use of salami tactics is a strategy of gradually degrading an opposition's dominance by instilling distrust in institutions, utilities, or the government's ability to protect us.
