Reaching Peak Understanding of IoT and ICS Risk

Oct 14, 2025 By Emma Stevens In BitSight
In a world where internet connectivity intersects with just about every facet of our physical world—from cameras and door locks to power grids and factory robots—cyber risk intelligence has moved well beyond just protecting the bits and bytes of logical IT ecosystems. Security and risk professionals also have to be on the lookout for and aware of improperly secured cyber physical devices, like IoT devices, which greatly expand the enterprise attack surface.

Why ICS Cybersecurity Should Be a Top Priority for Industrial Organizations

Why ICS Cybersecurity Should Be a Top Priority for Industrial Organizations

Oct 13, 2025 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
The systems that manage our critical infrastructure-from power grids and water treatment plants to manufacturing lines and transportation networks-are the unseen engines of modern society. These Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are complex networks of hardware and software that monitor and control physical processes. For decades, they operated in isolated, air-gapped environments, separated from the corporate IT world. However, the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) has erased these traditional boundaries, exposing vital industrial processes to a landscape of sophisticated cyber threats.

Incident Command Systems: How To Establish an ICS

Oct 8, 2025 By Joseph Nduhiu In Splunk
Standardizing the management and coordination of incident response and resolution activities across different independent agencies is challenging. As part of its mission to help people before, during, and after disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) created the Incident Command System (ICS) as one of the components of the National Incident Management System (NIMS).

When Electricity Meets Cyber: How Electric Firms Must Harden Their Systems

When Electricity Meets Cyber: How Electric Firms Must Harden Their Systems

Oct 1, 2025 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
The electric sector is undergoing a digital revolution. From smart meters to automated substations, electricity providers now rely heavily on software, connected devices, and real-time data analytics. While this transformation drives efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, it also exposes power grids and electrical systems to cyber risks. As cyberattacks on critical infrastructure become more frequent, firms must not only harden their systems but also strengthen their workforce to meet this evolving challenge.

180,000 ICS/OT Devices and Counting: The Unforgivable Exposure

Sep 25, 2025 By Pedro Umbelino In BitSight
Remember when ICS malware was “rare”? Last year we got two new families built for one thing: disruption. FrostyGoop and Fuxnet are not Mirai with a wrench taped on or your typical DDoS botnet. They were built to target and disable devices that use Meter-bus and Modbus protocols, inflicting maximum damage. If you still believe that “our PLCs aren’t on the Internet,” then this is your nudge to actually go and check.

The Cost of Inaction: Securing the Energy Grid Before It's Too Late

Sep 18, 2025 By Kory Daniels In LevelBlue
Delivering safe and reliable power around the clock is a huge challenge. A task made even more difficult by the sharp rise in cyberattacks on the energy and utilities sector. Recent research from Trustwave SpiderLabs found that cyber threats against the sector have surged by 80% year-over-year, costing organizations nearly half a million dollars more per breach than the cross-industry average of $4.8 million.

Windows 10 Retirement: A Reminder for Managing Legacy Industrial Control Systems (ICS)

Sep 16, 2025 By Katrina Thompson In Tripwire
On October 14th, Windows 10 will be retired, and Microsoft will no longer push patches or updates to systems on that operating system. It is crucial for companies to make the jump to Windows 11 now—or risk being exposed to critical vulnerabilities. This is especially important for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), which often run on legacy systems.
