Manufacturing, Utilities, and Healthcare Should Outsource Cybersecurity: The Case for Cybersecurity-as-a-Service
As digital transformation accelerates, industries like EV charging infrastructure, manufacturing, utilities, and healthcare face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. These sectors are critical to national infrastructure and public welfare, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Yet, maintaining in-house cybersecurity solutions is often impractical due to the high costs and demand for specialized expertise.This is where Cybersecurity-as-a-Service […]
Why SMBs and Enterprises Should Outsource Cybersecurity: The Case for Cybersecurity-as-a-Service
In an era where cyber threats are growing in complexity and frequency, organizations, regardless of size, face mounting pressure to secure their digital assets. However, for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and even larger enterprises, managing cybersecurity in-house can be overwhelming, expensive, and resource-intensive. Enter Cybersecurity-as-a-Service (CaaS)—an innovative model that empowers businesses to outsource their cybersecurity needs […]
The Expanding EV Charging Landscape: A Growing Target
The global EV market is booming, and with it, the demand for charging infrastructure. While this growth is essential for a sustainable future, it also creates a prime target for cyber attackers. Charging stations are increasingly interconnected through networked systems and often communicate via wireless protocols, making them susceptible to a variety of digital attacks. […]
Zero Trust in OT Environments: Enhancing Security in Critical Infrastructure
In an era of escalating cyber threats, the security of critical infrastructure systems—such as those in energy, water, transportation, and manufacturing—demands robust, proactive defense strategies. Traditional security measures often fall short, leaving these systems vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. The Zero Trust model, widely adopted in IT environments, is now proving essential for Operational Technology (OT) […]
Building Resilient OT Networks: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cybersecurity
In an increasingly digital world, Operational Technology (OT) networks are the backbone of critical infrastructure, industrial operations, and manufacturing processes. OT networks control everything from power plants to water treatment facilities, transportation systems, and beyond. The digitization of OT environments offers immense benefits in efficiency and performance but also exposes these networks to new and […]
Defending the Digital Frontier: Key OT Cybersecurity Strategies for 2024
In 2024, the operational technology (OT) landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with industries embracing digital transformation to optimize their processes, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. However, as the digital frontier expands, so do the risks. Cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors are increasingly targeting OT systems—those that control critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial processes—creating a high-stakes environment […]
The Intersection of IT and OT Security: Bridging the Gap for Stronger Protection
Introduction In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the divide between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is narrowing. This convergence is driven by the need for operational efficiency, real-time data analytics, and improved decision-making processes. While this brings undeniable benefits, it also introduces significant cybersecurity challenges. IT and OT systems have fundamentally different priorities—IT focuses […]
Top 5 Emerging OT Cybersecurity Threats and How to Defend Against Them
The rapid digitization of industries and critical infrastructure has introduced a range of new vulnerabilities to Operational Technology (OT) environments. As OT systems, which control everything from manufacturing processes to energy grids, become more connected with IT networks and external systems, they face growing cybersecurity risks. Threat actors, including nation-states, cybercriminals, and insiders, are increasingly […]
