You may never update a device's firmware, but there are other steps you can take to reduce risk in sensitive IoT/OT devices. Joel Goins, MIS talks with John Vecchi about how Phosphorus helps his organization identify steps to even harden legacy Cyber-Physical Systems. #IoTSecurityPodcast

Australia's ambitious Cyber Security Act, its first standalone piece of cybersecurity legislation, introduces new standards for smart devices, ransomware reporting, and critical infrastructure protections. The Act has yet to be finalized, but there's plenty Australian businesses can do right now. Phosphorus Regional CTO for APJ, Alex Nehmy tells ISMS.online: “Best practice cybersecurity standards and frameworks help Australian companies improve their cyber security posture and reduce the likelihood of experiencing a serious incident such as ransomware.” 🔗 https://okt.to/5kgxCp #CyberSecurity #Australia #CyberSecurityAct #Compliance

Extra! Extra! This edition of Intelligent Tech Channels features our own Osama AlZoubi writing on modern security challenges in the Middle East. From design to management and maintenance, every layer of the IoT and OT environment needs another look from this renewed perspective.

🚨 New Episode Alert: IoT Security Podcast 🚨 Join us for a compelling discussion with Joel Goins, MIS, an expert in manufacturing, oil and gas, and IoT/OT security, as he talks with host John Vecchi about the rising threats to critical US infrastructure. 🎧: https://okt.to/qKbkeI They explore the increasing cyberattacks from state actors like Iran and the urgent need for enhanced security measures for data centers and vital components. Joel also highlights the vulnerabilities in IoT devices and outlines essential steps organizations can take to safeguard against both traditional and emerging cyber threats. Tune in for valuable insights on bolstering your organization's cybersecurity defenses! #Cybersecurity #IoTSecurity #OTSecurity #Podcast #CriticalInfrastructure

Phosphorus is heading to the 19th Annual API Cybersecurity Conference for the Oil & Natural Gas Industry on November 12-13 at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott in The Woodlands, Texas! As a Silver Sponsor, we’ll be exhibiting at Booth 406 to share insights on proactive discovery and remediation with our Unified xIoT Security Management Platform for OT, ICS, and SCADA Cyber-Physical Systems.

This level of coordination could be a force multiplier for detecting and deterring bad actors. https://okt.to/g8kAx3 Nathan Eddy at Security Boulevard writes that with a more unified global approach to cyber defense, CISA hopes to enhance the resilience of foreign infrastructure critical to the US, fortify integrated cyber defense, and streamline agency coordination on international efforts. The nature of cyber attacks, John Terrill, Phosphorus CISO, points out, is that they exist outside of physical borders while the threat actors themselves do not. “As we’ve seen in kinetic environments all over the world, the necessity to work in conjunction with our partners has never been more important,” he said. “Applying this successful strategy to the cyber domain is an intuitive idea.”

Don't get scared, but attackers can disguise devices like Raspberry Pis to look like something they’re not—tricking you into thinking you’re interacting with a legitimate device when it’s actually nefarious. James McCarthy takes the driver's seat in this special Halloween edition of #PhosphorusLIVE.

“Pushing OT operators to upgrade to PQC algorithms assumes the devices are using cryptography in the first place – which is a giant assumption!” John Terrill reminds us. In OT environments, where attackers exploit basic vulnerabilities, establishing quantum-specific resilience may feel like a shiny distraction if cybersecurity fundamentals aren’t in place. Let’s not jump ahead of ourselves; the foundation matters most for critical infrastructure resilience.
