When you read through the posts on the Ignyte blog focusing on CMMC, you'll see that just about everything we talk about, unless otherwise specified, refers to CMMC Level 2. This is because it's the impact level that the vast majority of DoD contractors are going to need. CMMC Level 1 is the lowest level, protecting the least sensitive of the sensitive information the government has to offer. If all you're handling is Federal Contract Information (FCI), Level 1 is enough for you.

Multi-site backup lets any location back up or copy data to any other location, replacing the fixed hub-and-spoke model where every site depends on one central repository.

This guide is written for controls and automation engineers, OT infrastructure owners and plant leaders responsible for recovering PC-based SCADA systems, including SCADA servers and clients, HMI and engineering workstations, and historians. It does not cover native backup of PLC or RTU logic and firmware; those assets remain within the automation vendor's engineering and lifecycle-management tools. A SCADA server, HMI or historian cannot be recovered like an ordinary IT workload.

OpenAI published its assessment of its newest GPT model, Astra, and found it to be the first of their models to reach a critical level of cybersecurity capability, meaning that given the right tools and access, it could autonomously exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities. As a result, OpenAI has restricted Astra’s most advanced cybersecurity capabilities to trusted partners before a public rollout.

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about using AI to automate Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC work. Anthropic, using Claude as the base, has been leading with some of the most specific “how to” research.

Australian MSPs have no shortage of technology vendors. The difficult part is deciding which relationships will make the business stronger after the contract is signed. A product can perform well and still create friction if the commercial model is hard to explain, enablement is generic or support disappears when an opportunity becomes complicated. A strong vendor relationship connects technology, operations and go-to-market execution.
