Many enterprises in verticals such as power and energy, oil and gas, healthcare, and manufacturing have been playing catch up over the past decade in terms of securing their operational technology (OT) networks against cyberattacks. For years, industrial asset owners didn’t consider their OT environment to be a significant security risk.
In this version of the Hacker’s Playbook Threat Coverage round-up, we are highlighting newly added coverage for several recently discovered or analyzed ransomware and malware variants, including Sabbath ransomware, 3CXDesktopApp vulnerability, amongst others. SafeBreach customers can select and run these attacks and more from the SafeBreach Hacker’s Playbook™ to ensure coverage against these advanced threats.
You can’t predict the future, but you can prepare for it. When it comes to IT (and OT), security validation is the closest to predicting the future as you can get. This is the second post in our series “Demystifying Security Validation Technologies: What You Need to Know,” in which we break down a number of security validation methods available today, provide the strengths and weaknesses of each, and explain how each functions in different IT environments.
In late 2022, SafeBreach commissioned S&P Global Market Intelligence to conduct a research project surveying 400 highly qualified security practitioners across the United States and Europe. The goal was to understand respondents’ biggest security challenges, the level of adoption and maturity of the continuous security validation (CSV) tools they use to address those challenges, and the business outcomes they achieved.
The New Frontiers of Cybersecurity is a three-part thought-leadership series investigating the big-picture problems within the cybersecurity industry. In the first post, we explored the reasons malicious actors have been able to enhance their ability to execute and profit from attacks. In the second post, we discussed how the massive increase in endpoints and systems online has dramatically increased the attack surface.
