Increased investments in digital transformation are expanding operational technology (OT) attack surfaces. Organizations requiring enhanced remote access to industrial control systems and other OT devices must adequately secure them.

Hardening Remote Access a Must for OT

George V. Hulme
ASL Roma 1, a public health provider in Rome, has distinguished itself in the global healthcare landscape over the past two years by implementing advanced cybersecurity strategies, moving toward a hyper convergent security model, the so-called HyperSOC, in response to the growing cyber attacks in the global healthcare sector.

The Cybersecurity Revolution at ASL Roma 1: From Traditional Solutions to HyperSOC

Stefano Scaramuzzino
Secure remote access for third parties is a growing demand within OT and ICS environments. CISOs must understand and mitigate the risk third-party access introduces by having visibility into these connections, limiting access when appropriate, and applying other mitigations.

White House Resets Direction for Critical Infrastructure Protection

Cristin Flynn Goodwin
It’s incumbent upon the enterprise to manage third-party supply-chain relationships with cybersecurity as a foremost priority, in particular locking down access to critical systems and adequately managing and assigning privileged access to third parties.

Examining Third-Party Supply-Chain Risks Around Secure Access

Jim LaBonty
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

Dan Ricci
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.

White House Signs Critical Infrastructure Memorandum, Details Remain Unclear

George V. Hulme
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.
