Xtreme Networks | Wellington Data Centre’s Post

With data centres now classified as UK National Critical Infrastructure (CNI), it’s a great time to review each of your facility’s cyber security and resilience. Appropriate and systematic processes around their digital risks and security vulnerabilities will be an imperative. For example, around the DCIM, BMS and carrier interconnects. Then cyber controls backed by self-assessments and audits can be implemented or strengthened. Effective contingencies such as disaster recovery and business continuity plans are ever more pertinent. And, how those measures interface with government agencies and emergency services is important. NPSA, NCSC and CPNI guidance are great resources for designing and improving these key processes. For example, the joint NCSC/CPNI security guidance for data centres (March 2022). How much work does the CNI classification entail for your facility?  #datacentres #infrastructure #cloudcomputing #sustainability

Protecting your most valuable assets, the importance of security around Data and IP. In today's interconnected world, protecting data and intellectual property (IP) has become a business imperative for organisations worldwide. Business data does not just represent information, but is a key to innovation, strategy, and competitive advantage. With great value comes great responsibility. Organisations trust #IOTICS for secure interoperability, at the data access layer, in the most challenging industries and scenarios. To protect that trust we prioritise security across our entire organisation. Here you'll find details on our accreditations, certifications, procedures and processes that support our clients and partners to build and expand trusted and secure ecosystems to combat some of the world's biggest challenges 🔐 https://lnkd.in/eCZ3xkB4 The critical importance of security sits at the very heart of our values.

👀READ BETWEEN THE LINES: There's a storm coming; be more resilient. I had the pleasure of attending Bridget Walshe's cyber threat briefing, based on CCCS's recently published National Cyber Threat Assessment ISACA Vancouver Chapter's event last week. There were several trends for Canadian businesses to consider, but one that stood out to me: 🔭 Trend 5: Dual-use commercial services are in the digital crossfire 👁️🗨️ CONTEXT: - Governments and militaries around the world use commercial telecommunication and technology services, along with their proprietary infrastructure - Regional conflicts are escalating and infrastructure is and will continue to be targeted (submarine cables, satellites, CSPs, popular SW/HW, critical infrastructure) 👍 MY TAKE: Be prepared for business interruption - Technology enabled businesses (everyone at this point?), should recognize dependencies on 3rd party services and the increasing exposure to becoming collateral damage - Review and inventory business systems - Ask internally what happens to the business when X is offline? - Explore how to reduce your exposure and increase resiliency such as high-availability architectures, (good) data backup capabilities and if the businesses can operation manually, in a degraded state. #cybersecurity #businessresiliency #darkfutures

More excellent coverage by CNBC’s Lori Ann LaRocco on the latest cyber threat to national infrastructure. Port of Los Angeles ED Gene Seroka nails it - “More needs to be done across the ports, and supply chain” - and been fighting for years for a robust federal cybersecurity plan. Bewildering that the American Association of Port Authorities, has said in the past there is no evidence to the support the remote control claims about Chinese-manufactured crane cyber vulnerabilities, characterizing the comments as “sensational.” Really? How about ZPMC executives who publicly stated in 2017 that, working with Microsoft Corp. to connect equipment and analyze data in real time, “Through our main office in Shanghai, you can monitor all the cranes.” Instead of the blanket AAPA dismissal, another national port association, National Association of Waterfront Employers (NAWE) took the productive step for their members to work with cyber experts at Building Cyber Security.org to quickly develop an easy-to-use checklist that tracks closely with the WH guidance. It's on the #NAWE website for use by all. Port owners and operators have cyber risks across their enterprise (not just cranes) that must be identified, assessed, and mitigated to reduce the threat of business disruption.   Robert Murray, Shawn B.

U.S. physical infrastructure is increasingly the target of hacks, and the DHS Science and Technology Directorate is working to help owners and operators take steps to improve resilience through the Critical Infrastructure Security & Resilience Research Program, funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The nation's largest ports are also at risk, “More needs to be done across the ports, and supply chain," said Gene Seroka, executive director for the Port of Los Angeles, who noted that in 2023 the port stopped 750 million hacking attempts. #criticalinfrastructure #resilience #cybersecurity #iija #bil #supplychain

"Also, outside parties seeking to tour facilities or asking probing questions about sensitive, internal, and proprietary information; attempts to recruit technical experts, including through invitations of foreign travel, employment offers, and financial incentives in exchange for proprietary information; and unsolicited offers to establish joint ventures with companies tied to foreign governments or state-owned enterprises." https://lnkd.in/g8t2GctP #CISA #CriticalInfrastructure #Cybersecurity #ForeignThreats #SupplyChainSecurity #InsiderThreats #IndustrialCyber #StaySecure #icssecurity #ics

🔒 Data Diodes 101: Ensuring Absolute Security in Critical Networks 🔒 At TREX, we specialize in providing advanced security solutions for critical infrastructure, and one of our most powerful tools is the data diode. So, what exactly is a data diode, and why does it matter? A data diode is a one-way communication device designed to ensure that data can only travel in one direction—from a secure source to its destination—without any possibility of reverse communication. This makes it an essential component in securing critical systems like: ✅ Industrial Control Systems (ICS) ✅ Military networks ✅ Financial institutions ✅ Government and healthcare sectors By allowing only outbound data, data diodes prevent cyberattacks from reaching sensitive systems while still enabling monitoring and data collection. 🔑 Key benefits: • Unbreachable Security: Absolute protection against external threats. • No Backflow: Prevents data leaks and unauthorized access to secure networks. • Compliance: Helps meet the stringent requirements of regulated industries. At TREX, we ensure our clients’ most critical systems stay online, secure, and compliant. Want to learn more about how data diodes can secure your business?
