🚨 92% of Industrial Sites at Risk from Unsecured Remote Services DeNexus' latest report and analysis quantifies the cyber risks associated with Remote Services in industrial operations: - 88% of sites cite remote access as top cybersecurity risk - Avg. potential loss: $223K per site, up to $1.5M in worst cases With remote access threats surging, securing industrial OT is urgent.

With the changing threat environment, industrial and operational environments are under greater pressure than ever to reconcile operational effectiveness with effective cybersecurity. #OT (operational technology) asset owners are increasingly looking to #cyber #riskquantification to address the challenges of keeping their #criticalinfrastructure without sacrificing productivity. With the increasing sophistication of #cyberthreats, conventional #riskassessment methods are no longer adequate. Industrial Cyber consulted #cybersecurity experts to identify the main challenges #industrial enterprises encounter when assessing cyber risks in industrial settings. They also explore how these organizations balance maintaining operational efficiency and meeting security requirements. Harshul Joshi, a principal at PwC and lead of the OT Cyber Security Practice for critical U.S. infrastructure, said that key challenges organizations face include correlating cyber asset impact due to adverse situations. For example: a breach, ransomware, downtime, etc., to operational output. “Very few organizations have the maturity with regards to the creation of KPIs that show accurate quantification of cyber risks.” “Enterprises often lack the information and knowledge necessary to model and quantify risk. What’s missing ranges from assets, vulnerabilities, and network topology to site-level business data and a list of security controls in place,” Jose M Seara, founder and CEO of DeNexus, said. “This problem is exacerbated in #OTnetworks. Internal telemetry from cybersecurity tools deployed internally is essential for high-fidelity cyber risk quantification. Operating and securing #industrial systems are two distinct functions that benefit from close collaboration to maintain operational efficiencies while feeding the risk quantification process with reliable data.” Gerry Kennedy, CEO of Observatory Strategic Management, told Industrial Cyber that the primary challenges in quantifying cyber risks in industrial environments include divergent risk models with IT #riskassessments focused on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA Triad). In contrast, OT prioritizes safety, availability, and reliability (SAR). “Cyber risk is different for industrial environments than for IT,” Joe Weiss PE CISM CRISC ISA Fellow, an #industrialcybersecurity expert, said. “Not only does the cyber risk need to be addressed inside industrial facilities, but the #cyberrisk also extends to nearby and even distant facilities and residences that could be affected by chemical releases, electric outages, loss of fuel and water, and possibly for extended periods of time. Moreover, these risks exist whether from malicious or unintentional causes.” https://lnkd.in/gv4VGWyU

So I did not get a full talk, but managed to get 5 mins in the "Unsolicited Response" session. I hope I sent everyone home with some good knowledge nuggets! #ics #S4x25 #informationsecurity

Last night’s S4x25 Bourbon Tasting event was packed! Thanks to everyone that came by, tried some bourbon, and enjoyed the vibes.

Industrial control systems and operational technology often struggle to manage risk. This is due to a lack of technical data on OT cyber incidents overall, along with an inability to apply traditional actuarial methods to estimate the potential financial consequences of cyber events. Donovan Tindill, DeNexus' Senior Director of OT Security, explored how #ICS and #OT organizations can leverage #AI and #machinelearning to improve their #riskmanagement strategies in this article for CyberTech - Cyber Technology Insights™ : https://lnkd.in/gxHCgAjb

Operational technology #risk (#OTrisk) is more extreme than IT risk, with potential consequences including social chaos, damage to the national economy, and threats to national #security. @KevTownsend at SecurityWeek featured Jose M Seara’s commentary about #OT #cybersecurity in his latest Cyber Insights article https://lnkd.in/ggHmp-Ku
