Recently, Microsoft and global technology services firm HCL Technologies teamed up to help solve the security challenge with a high-performance solution for medical devices. The result is a new reference architecture and platform for building secure medical devices and services based on HCL’s CARE, Microsoft Defender for IoT and Azure IoT.
In recent years, malicious actors have started attacking industrial control systems and key sectors of nations’ critical infrastructure to inflict damage that transcends the cyber world and traditional IT assets. The risk to public safety cannot be overstated, as these types of cyberattacks have real-world potential to inflict harm on humans.
This year the need for much improved IoT and OT cybersecurity has become even more clear with the recent and now famous attacks.
Get insights on securing your supply chain and IoT/OT devices against sophisticated new cyber threats.
Securing an organization has never been simple. But over the past year, we’ve seen significant changes in the threat landscape that are having a major impact on organizations of every size in every sector.
Cybersecurity threats are always evolving, and today we’re seeing a new wave of advanced attacks specifically targeting IoT devices used in enterprise environments as well as operational technology devices used in industrial systems and critical infrastructure.
MISA extends product portfolio, adds sessions for Microsoft Inspire, and more.
Critical infrastructure operators face a hostile cyber threat environment and a complex compliance landscape. Operators must manage industrial control systems as well as IT environments that are part of critical infrastructure or can form attack surfaces for control systems.
As organizations connect massive numbers of IoT/OT devices to their networks to optimize operations, boards and management teams are increasingly concerned about the expanding attack surface and corporate liability that they represent.
As businesses increasingly rely on connected devices to optimize their operations, the number of IoT and Operational Technology (OT) endpoints is growing dramatically—industry analysts have estimated that CISOs will soon be responsible for an attack surface multiple times larger than just a few years ago.
