Faced with this onslaught of smart, connected medical equipment, many healthcare providers are looking for device cybersecurity strategies and ways to help make these products more secure. Experts say it requires ongoing commitment to device security - something many providers haven't yet done.
Taiwanese industrial computing firm Moxa Technologies is warning customers about two high-severity vulnerabilities affecting its routers and network appliances, posing significant security risks to operational technology environments.
Hackers are exploiting a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Chinese-manufactured Four-Faith industrial routers. Typical customers of Four-Faith use the routers for remote monitoring, control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition networks.
Siemens issued a security advisory for a vulnerability affecting industrial control systems in its User Management Component that could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code. The heap-based buffer overflow flaw impacts products used in manufacturing and the energy sector.
The security of medical devices has been getting most of the attention from regulators in recent years, but other devices that make up the medical internet of things and operational technology systems are also vulnerable to cyberattacks, federal authorities warned in a new advisory.
Jerry Cochran's career began as a radar electronics technician, where he built a foundation in technology before transitioning to IT and ultimately cybersecurity. His journey across the military, public and private sectors required him to adapt to different leadership environments.
OPSWAT's acquisition of Fend integrates advanced hardware-based security with OPSWAT's platform, delivering robust protection against cyberattacks on critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems. Fend's small-form-factor data diodes meet the demand for affordable, scalable solutions.
An Iranian state hacking group is using custom malware to compromise IoT and OT infrastructure in Israel and the United States. An attack wave from Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated "CyberAv3ngers" swept up fuel management systems made by U.S.-based firm Gilbarco Veeder-Root.
Researchers identified 20 critical vulnerabilities in a type of Advantech industrial-grade wireless access points that is widely deployed across critical infrastructure environments. Attackers could exploit the flaws to remotely executive code and create denials of service.
Cybersecurity once conjured images of IT departments, server rooms and corporate firewalls. Today, it extends far beyond these traditional domains, becoming essential in fields like manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, transportation, robotics and space exploration.
French multinational Schneider Electric disclosed critical vulnerabilities in its Modicon M340, Momentum and MC80 programmable automation controllers. The vulnerabilities could allow unauthorized access, data manipulation and system interruptions.
As OT systems become more interconnected, traditional air gaps disappear, creating new risks, said Joseph Carson, chief security scientist and advisory CISO at Delinea. The convergence of IT and OT environments requires a stronger focus on protecting digital identities and access controls.
Organizations mistakenly believe their operational technology systems are air-gapped and immune to cyberthreats. Dawn Cappelli, director of OT-CERT at Dragos, discusses why these assumptions are dangerous security gaps and why organizations need to rethink their approach to OT security.
Dennis Giese, a security researcher and engineer, built his first computer at around age 8 using spare parts. Years later, he hacked his first robotic vacuum cleaner. Giese reflects on his journey as a researcher and ethical hacker during HardPwn, a hardware hackathon hosted by Hardwear.io in Amsterdam.
A "road map to resilience" approach helps organizations balance immediate, low-cost security improvements with complex, long-term risk reduction initiatives in industrial control systems, said Mex Martinot, vice president and global head of industrial cybersecurity at Siemens Energy.
