Nozomi Networks in the News

Le vulnerabilità critiche in ambito manufacturing sono aumentate del 148% nella prima metà del 2021, il Ransomware as a Service alimenta gli attacchi e le telecamere di sicurezza IoT mostrano i loro punti deboli. Questi sono alcuni dei dati rilevati nel report pubblicato nel mese di luglio da Nozomi Networks Labs dal titolo OT/IoT Security Report.

The Homeland Security Investigation agents say an unnamed Oahu-based private company that manages the cable was targeted by an international hacking group, but did not provide more details on the nationality or other specifics of the actors.

Danielle Jablanski, OT cybersecurity strategist at Nozomi Networks, says the combined tools in this case were built to search for specific devices, to understand their operational parameters, to gain credentialed access, and to remotely control various legitimate functions of the devices for their intended objectives. “These are customizable based on the devices targeted but can be modified to target additional devices that leverage the same protocols,” she says.

A group of cybersecurity companies that specialize in securing critical infrastructure said Tuesday they’ve formed a lobbying group to push for technological standards among the private sector and government.

“These guys in the trenches defending the Ukrainian power grid are listening to bombs and missiles and bullets outside of their building while they’re defending,” Chris Grove, cyber strategist at Nozomi Networks, tells CSO. “They know if the grid goes down that they lose the war, the hospitals won’t have power, etc. So, they’re very focused.”

“What I find more interesting is that we are shifting from what traditional military defense is (defending the land) to a cyber defense that not only involves military but corporations as well. Corporations are realizing that they can’t sit this one out.
