Remote access for OT is vital for maintaining efficiencies, troubleshooting, and is also important for retaining remote workers. But most remote access solutions pose a range of security risks. We introduce HERA – Hardware-Enforced Remote Access – as a safer alternative.
It turns out that there are really only three ways that ransomware can shut down OT networks and physical operations: “abundance of caution” shutdowns, OT dependencies on IT systems and services, and ransomware impacting OT networks and systems directly.
Manufacturing, vital yet risky, faces a growing threat: criminal ransomware. Waterfall Security Solutions’ 2024 Threat Report reveals a spike in ransomware attacks, causing severe disruptions in the industrial sector. Over half of the 68 recorded attacks in 2023 targeted manufacturing, resulting in costly shutdowns. With incidents nearly doubling yearly, plant operations will continue to see more downtime. However, the report also highlights key areas for improving OT cybersecurity, building resilience, and maintaining competitive operations.
Running water and working indoor plumbing are a basic necessity for modern cities. Most of us take for granted that the tap gives us water and that the water goes down the drain when we are done with it without giving it much thought.
For forty years now, we have automated physical operations with computers in the name of increased operating efficiencies – deploying ever more targets for cyber attacks.
What happens when we close the loop in mining operations? How can we prevent Internet-exposed services being compromised?
Water systems cybersecurity expert Mariano Martin Tirado of Acciona shares with Waterfall his insights about protecting Water Utilities and Wastewater treatment plants.
Mining & Metals fills in one of the first links within the global supply chain. If something didn’t grow, then it was mined. And any disruption to Metals & Mining impacts every link down the chain in today’s complex global supply chains.
When it comes to securing OPC DA, nothing compares to the security that a unidirectional gateway provides.
Engineers have very recently started to use the “OT” term, primarily when interacting with enterprise security teams. Engineers use the term to refer to the computers and networks that control important, complex, and often dangerous physical processes
