Security researchers recently discovered six critical vulnerabilities in third-party code that could expose hundreds of thousands of OT environments to remote code execution attacks. These vulnerabilities were found in Wibu-Systems’ CodeMeter software, a license management platform that is used widely by some of today’s leading industrial control system (ICS) product vendors, include Rockwell Automation and Siemens.
Safeguarding against insider dangers in cybersecurity is among the leading issues that organizations are encountering today. Whether that risk results from ignorance, oversight or is made with harmful intent, utilizing these techniques will significantly help secure your organization. When people think of insider threats, their minds typically go to rogue or disgruntled employees that are intentionally performing a malicious act.
The traditional approach to security is desperately flawed. NNT’s SecureOps strategy is a progressive way to deal with solving the problem of cybersecurity by combining the essential prescribed security controls recommended by frameworks such as NIST and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) with advanced threat prevention and detection, closed-loop intelligent change control and continuous compliance monitoring technology.
Data breaches are a common occurrence in the world we live in today. Whether its personal data that relates to an organizations’ customers or data referencing the inner workings of an organization’s infrastructure, when it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences are disastrous. It’s for that reason that organizations need to ensure that they have all of the necessary controls in place so that their data is safe and secure.
There are two things that you might consider when selecting a File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) and Change Control solution – 1) Depth of useable features such as efficiency in suppressing change noise and 2) Brand recognition. Some organizations might choose smart features such as powerful, closed-loop intelligent change control over the brand while some might focus on the brand name at the risk of not paying as much attention to the software’s really useful features and capabilities.
NNT Change Tracker is a world class solution for evaluating the security posture of your infrastructure. Whether you adhere to frameworks such as the Center for Internet Security, NIST or even if you have a home baked version of how best to harden your environment, Change Tracker will assess and report on how your deployed assets measure up against the standard.
The finance industry has long been the ideal target for dangerous cyber criminals, holding a treasure trove of sensitive information and financial credentials of innocent victims, but in the wake of the post COVID-19 lockdown period, researchers have found that these institutions are seeing a marked spike in cyberattacks.
