Geopolitical tensions are spilling into cyberspace, and Team82’s latest research shows that cyber-physical systems (CPS) are increasingly becoming a preferred target of opportunistic threat actors. These groups are often inspired politically and socially by geopolitical events, yet may not be as skilled as their nation-state counterparts. Their aim is to disrupt critical infrastructure and the
Claroty presents the results of an independent global survey of 1,100 cybersecurity professionals who are tasked with securing cyber-physical systems (CPS)—including operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), connected medical devices (IoMT), and building management systems (BMS)—that are at the core of critical infrastructure sectors worldwide. The survey sought to understand from cybersecurity leaders their

We have been conditioned as an industry to equate healthcare cybersecurity with data privacy. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has been the impetus for this approach for 27 years by zeroing in on the protection of personal patient information and enacting privacy and security rules aimed at keeping such data confidential. For
For more than three years, and now six of these reports, Claroty Team82 has provided biannual analyses of publicly disclosed vulnerabilities affecting operational technology (OT), internet of things (IoT) devices, and most recently, the internet of medical things (IoMT). We have not only found and privately disclosed more than 400 vulnerabilities since our inception, but
Team82’s analysis of vulnerabilities impacting cyber-physical systems across the Extended Internet of Things—1H 2022 After more than 20 years of connecting things to the internet, we’ve reached a critical mass where the food we eat, water we drink, elevators we ride, and the oil and gas that warms our homes rely on computer code. Today’s
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are indispensable industrial devices that control manufacturing processes in every critical infrastructure sector. Because of their position within automation, threat actors covet access to PLCs; several industrial control system malware strains, from Stuxnet to Incontroller/Pipedream, have targeted PLCs. But what if the PLC wasn’t the prey, and instead was the predator?
We are fast approaching a time when highly connected cyber-physical systems are the norm, and the lines between information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT) security management are blurred. All of it will be connected to, and managed from, the cloud, and unfathomable amounts of data will be processed in order

This independent, global survey of 1,100 information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) security professionals who work full time for enterprises that own, operate, or otherwise support components of critical infrastructure, explores how they have dealt with the significant challenges in 2021, their levels of resiliency, and priorities moving forward. Key findings include: Ransomware is

The first half of 2021 was the biggest test of industrial cybersecurity in history. Many companies are enjoying the fruits of connecting devices to the internet and converging operational technology (OT) under IT systems management. Yet that momentum has also beaconed out to threat actors, particularly those whose trade is extortion and profit. Assets are
