One of the most significant changes to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic is the shift to remote work. By late 2020, 58% of U.S. employees worked at home at least some of the time, and this trend will likely continue.

Most companies’ cyber defenses are designed to handle a single, centralized network in one location with standardized devices.

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, and although it’s not likely to be the first thing to come to mind when discussing cyber security, it certainly should be. As its name implies, it is a type of software designed to supervise – controlling and monitoring – and collect data and well as analyze data for industrial processes.

The recent headlines attest that no organization is immune to targeted attacks launched by skilled, persistent adversaries. These highly sophisticated attackers gain unprecedented success against large and even well-equipped organizations across the world. The detection of these attacks is a daunting task. However, if you are well aware of the Indicator of Attacks (IoA) and Indicators of Compromise (IoC), then you can resolve issues with better outcomes.

Initially, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions were readily adopted because of their capability to provide actionable insights into the deep corners of an organization’s network. Legacy SIEM systems helped in understanding when and where security incidents are happening in real-time. Soon enough, these SIEM systems faced an avalanche of false positives, and they required a dedicated team to filter out irrelevant alerts.

Since NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the best solution for better prevention, detection, and response to cybersecurity incidents, various organizations have adopted it to safeguard their IT assets. The 2019 SANS OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey spells out the NIST CSF as the number one cybersecurity framework in use today. However, it is imperative to consider that how should we comply with NIST CSF in 2020 and beyond? Here is some help!
