ADM. Michael S. Rogers, USN (Ret.)

The “Report to the President: Strategy for Cyber-Physical Resilience: Fortifying Our Critical Infrastructure for a Digital World,” reaffirms that cyber-resilience-by-design should be the standard and urges a coalition of government leaders and private sector critical infrastructure asset owners and operators to refocus their energies to build resilient cyber-physical systems (CPS) that are designed to withstand attack.

The HHS Office for Civil Rights proposes substantial rule changes to the long-standing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule. While details on the proposed rule changes remain unclear, HHS plans to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) by the end of the year. These changes are believed to be the most substantial changes since the HIPAA Security rule went into effect in 2003

Securing connectivity in operational technology (OT) environments is crucial for the safety of critical infrastructure and maintaining the uninterrupted service it provides. Leaving unnecessary open ports, protocols, and services exposed, along with directly connected devices to the internet, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human machine interfaces (HMIs), greatly increases the risks of cyberattacks.

CISO Unrest is an Opportunity

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.

Technical debt in OT leads to increased operations costs as teams fight to maintain outdated systems, and security teams struggle to keep those same systems secure, often through compensating controls.

Getting Strategic Against Technical Debt in OT

George V. Hulme

Technical debt broadly refers to having old technology in place that causes problems later on, such as increased maintenance, lower productivity, and software or system reliability.

Healthcare delivery organizations using open-source software experience a balance of development advantages and security tradeoffs. Visibility, oversight, and tracking the use of OSS is critical to reducing risks it introduces. SBOMs, meanwhile, can be an advantage, in particular with regard to vulnerability management.

In OT and ICS cybersecurity, living off the land (LOTL) techniques refer to the practice of attackers using the existing tools and processes in a target system to carry out their malicious activities. This approach is particularly dangerous because it allows the attacker to blend in with everyday activities, making detection significantly more challenging.
