The world is experiencing a cybercrime pandemic, which is a direct consequence of COVID-19, according to Amit Basu, CISO and CIO at International Seaways. He offers proactive prevention measures, based on his own experience, for how organizations can stay safe and secure.
Dragos is currently tracking 3000+ Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that affect ICS/OT networks. Of those, more than 400 CVEs have at least one publicly available exploit. Public exploits affect every level of an industrial environment, providing adversaries pre-packaged tools capable of infiltrating an...
If you're not "on board" with the Functional Safety Standard EN 50128:2011 - “Railway
applications - Communication, signaling and processing systems - Software for
railway control and protection systems" - you'll need to run to catch up.
Currently the systems included under EN 50128 include
signaling, railway...
