The 2022 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report, now in its fourth annual iteration, finds that organizations are still moving too slowly toward full protection of their operational technology (OT) assets. Based on a global survey of more than 500 operational technology (OT) security professionals, this year’s report finds that while OT security has ...
Cyberattacks are a growing threat to water utilities. Recent incidents have garnered media attention as potential threats to water systems endanger public health and the environment. Water systems epitomize volatile critical infrastructure and are designated in the National Security Memorandum on Improving Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems. This requires baseline and sector specific goals ...
Operational technology (OT) is essential to today’s industrial processes and equipment, not least of which in the energy sector. The development and distribution of energy benefits greatly from digital transformation and the addition of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and monitoring systems. However, this increased digital nature opens the industry to potentially devastating cyberattacks. Pulse ...
The zero-trust network security model has become a pervasive topic for IT professionals. Many organizations have a vision of what they want or need in terms of zero-trust and zero-trust network access (ZTNA), but the completeness of their vision isn’t necessarily being translated into the solutions they’re able to put in place. Most organizations claim ...
As organizations adopt hybrid work, they need to extend security to employees no matter where they may be located. The work-from-anywhere (WFA) model presents security risks, so it’s critical for organizations to provide enterprise-level security everywhere they work, whether at home, in the office, or on the road. In addition to the next-generation firewall (NGFW) ...
Organizations looking to remain competitive find themselves in a vortex of digital acceleration, continually looking for innovations they can bring to bear on the market. Seeing and effectively responding to new threats across rapidly expanding network edges requires a security infrastructure that can operate as a single, integrated system while automatically adapting and scaling as ...
As networks become more complex and distributed, detecting and responding to threats has become increasingly difficult. Case in point, today’s enterprises have deployed an average of 45 security solutions across their networks, making any sort of centralized management nearly impossible. And worse, detecting and responding to a cyber incident requires coordination across all these tools, ...
Keeping pace with today’s digital acceleration takes scrutiny, time, and effort. Adding new tools and investments increases the complexity and vulnerability of enterprise security environments, exposing gaps in communication and collaboration, creating siloed systems, and slowing response times. Securing the enterprise against today’s increasingly sophisticated threat landscape calls for a cybersecurity platform automated for operational ...
Our personal data is valuable to criminals – and they’re making more attempts than ever to get hold of it. In 2021 the number of data breaches hit a record high of nearly 1,900 compromises, a rise of 68% on 2020. Many cyberattacks begin with the same weakness: user accounts. More specifically, they exploit user ...
Endpoint security solutions range from signature-based endpoint protection platform (EPP) or antivirus (AV) solutions to extended detection and response (XDR) platforms that tie multiple security solutions together. Organizations that are evaluating endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions need to ensure that the products they are considering will meet their needs in the areas. Discover them ...

The BlackBerry 2022 Threat Report is not a simple retrospective of the cyberattacks of 2021. It is a high-level look at issues affecting cybersecurity across the globe, both directly and indirectly. It covers elements of critical infrastructure exploitation, adversarial artificial intelligence (AI), initial access brokers (IABs), critical event management (CEM), extended detection and response (XDR), ...
Network firewalls are a critical line of defense in securing enterprise networks and protecting their vital data. The rapid transition to cloud infrastructure makes managing networks quite complex and cumbersome, leaving security and information technology (IT) teams with the overwhelming task of determining proper restrictions and access. Since 1984, Cisco Systems (Cisco) has served as ...
Cisco commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying Secure Firewall. The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Secure Firewall on their organizations. To better understand the ...
Ransomware has become a popular weapon in the hands of malicious actors who try to harm governments, businesses, and individuals daily. Ransomware is the final stage of a more complex attack. The security breach could have already happened a long time ago. Considering the range and volume of cyberattacks that organizations face daily, a disjointed ...
