🔒 #ICS Under Attack: How to Stay Secure 🔒 Recently, we've witnessed a significant rise in attacks targeting Industrial Control Systems, including incidents at the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa [1] and irrigation systems in Israel [2]. ICS manufacturers are responding by releasing numerous patches in a "patch Tuesday" fashion [3], however, in the OT space, having a patch is just the beginning; deploying it can be a complex and time-consuming task. So, how can you reduce your risk of getting hacked? As Rockwell Automation and CISA advises, "Disconnect Devices from the Internet" [4][5]. While this is sound advice, it's challenging to implement since organizations need to monitor and control these systems, often located in remote, hard-to-reach areas. What should defenders do? Place these systems behind a Remote Privileged Access Management (#RPAM) solution like Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations). Cyolo's solution provides Just In Time (#JIT) 1st and 3rd party #SRA, offering agentless access to many OT systems. 🎥 See it in action: Connecting to Rockwell PLC without an agent: https://lnkd.in/gHZTF_Kg Just In Time access via ServiceNow ticketing: https://lnkd.in/gy9tAHqH #CyberSecurity #IndustrialSecurity #OTSecurity #RemoteAccess [1] https://lnkd.in/gZjFTPrQ [2] https://lnkd.in/g6Td_6DB [3] https://lnkd.in/g_W5uRRX [4] https://lnkd.in/gt8tFja7 [5] https://lnkd.in/gmZZBtiz

moments before long weeks As the CEO of Code Blue, I've had the privilege of leading our team through some of the known high-profile cyber crises in the past two months. Each situation presented its unique challenges, from a worldwide cybersecurity company facing a major breach, to an Israeli startup announcing its Unicorn Exit just as it was hit by a cyber attack. We also assisted a London Stock Exchange Energy Company, whose investors were concerned about liabilities during a critical loan process, and cargo aviation companies seeking cyber solutions. this is just the tip of the iceberg. What these diverse incidents taught us is a universal truth: reputation is everything. In each case, while our deep Incident Response (IR) investigation was essential, it was our global PR and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) teams that made the difference. They provided not just solutions but also reassurance to our clients, their customers, and their investors. We made sure they felt confident that they were in the best hands possible. At Code Blue, our commitment to our clients is unwavering. We understand that amid chaos, trust, and reputation are what sustain organizations. And that's why we are dedicated to protecting both with the full weight of our expertise and resources. In the increase of worldwide Cyber-Attacken choose your cyber combat team- choose code blue. #crisismanagment #ciso #ceo #cio #legal #cybersecurity Code Blue Cyber Code Blue by Dussmann

The recent #CyberWeek was an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues while making new and exciting connections. Despite ongoing concerns, the steady recovery and increased investments in Israel are very encouraging. In H1 2024, Israeli #Cyber startups raised an impressive $2.9B, marking a 53% increase from the same period in 2023. This surge, coupled with the highest number of #exits since 2021, underscores a positive trend in the #Cybersecurity industry. Adding to this is Gartner's Attack Surface Management (ASM) report: "By 2028, investments in proactive technologies that improve visibility and reduce exposure will grow twice as fast as investments in reactive technologies that detect and respond to incidents". According to the latest Morgan Stanley CIO survey, cloud computing remains a top priority, while #Gartner predicts a significant increase in spending on data privacy and vulnerability assessment in 2024. At KTrust, an Israeli cybersecurity company, we focus on #proactive technology, integrated security solutions, and ongoing threat exposure for the #Kubernetes ecosystem. These developments inspire me to move forward with even greater enthusiasm and dedication.

I was recently interviewed about the dangers of Chinese smart cars. This topic reminds me of a talk I gave in 2014 at RSA San Francisco, alongside the superstar Hila Meller, and at TEDx in Greece (thanks to the amazing Keren Elazari). Both talks were titled "State-Sponsored Spies Inside Facebook." In these talks, I discussed the growing cooperation between commercial entities and their governments. I concluded with this question: Will we teach our children not to download certain apps just because they were developed in an enemy country? Just a few years later, this scenario has become a reality. For example, the U.S. government prohibits its personnel from installing the Chinese TikTok app, citing concerns that it is used by the Chinese government to track people globally. It's easy to vilify China as the "evil giant," but let's not forget that the U.S. has engaged in similar activities. Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA used data from companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple to promote American security and economic interests. And the U.S. is just one example in a long list of countries engaging in such practices. To summarize my RSA and TEDx lectures in one sentence: Nations have both homeland and financial incentives to embed spies in commercial companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple. Years after my lecture, it was discovered that Saudi Arabia had hired three spies inside Twitter to gather information on regime opponents. The Saudi authorities boasted of a new secret weapon against dissenters, claiming that the anonymity of the internet no longer protected them. Surprisingly enough, Saudi Arabia has started building their relationship with the Twitter spies, just 5 months after my talk. I hope my lecture wasn't the inspiration for their actions, though the RSA conference is attended by 30,000 people, and my talk had only about 30 attendees (0.1%). So, the chances are slim. Now, this scenario is repeating itself with smart cars. These vehicles are equipped with countless sensors, including microphones and GPS, transforming what was once a private space into an advanced surveillance system. This poses significant security risks, especially for military and security personnel who might have confidential conversations in their cars. And this is before we even consider the cyber threats, such as car hacking and kidnappings. However, it's essential to remember that the smart car war is primarily an economic one. The American automobile industry accounts for over 3% of the U.S. GDP. The Chinese see the smart electric vehicle revolution as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape the industry and aim to be the leading player. They have numerous advantages, such as natural resources, mass production experience, and cheap labor. Moreover, the Chinese government is making it a national goal to dominate this sector, even subsidizing car production to artificially lower prices. The car war is on.
