📆 DATE: 25-02-2024 🚀 Day 52 of 100-Days Cybersecurity Challenge 🔎 What I Learned : CyberWarfare What is CyberWarfare? Cyberwarfare is a series of strategic cyber attacks against a nation-state, causing it significant harm. This harm could include disruption of vital computer systems up to the loss of life. Cyberwarfare is typically defined as a set of actions by a nation or organization to attack countries or institutions' computer network systems with the intention of disrupting, damaging, or destroying infrastructure by computer viruses or denial-of-service attacks. What Does Cyberwarfare Look Like? Cyberwarfare can take many forms, but all of them involve either the destabilization or destruction of critical systems. The objective is to weaken the target country by compromising its core systems. This means cyber warfare may take several different shapes: 1.Attacks on financial infrastructure 2.Attacks on public infrastructure like dams or electrical systems 3.Attacks on safety infrastructure like traffic signals or early warning systems 4.Attacks against military resources or organizations #cybersecurity #100dayschallenge #day52

For those involved in cybersecurity....you need to check this out! We've posted the #CyberSat agenda and this year's conference is sure to be the best one yet with the key expansions in content. #CyberSat is the premier space cybersecurity conference where government and industry come together in both classified and unclassified sessions to learn about the latest threat intelligence and discuss how to build in resiliency. Interested in speaking/sponsoring, direct message me. See the agenda here: https://lnkd.in/exG9PtqC #spaceindustry #cybersecurity #satellitecommunications #spacedata #spaceinfrastructure #datasecurity #cyberthreat

Military #electrification, #digitization, and integration into a #ConnectedBattlespace could be a game-changer for operations, but it comes with notable #CyberSecurity risks. Kristen Csenkey, Ph.D. joins Kelly Ogle and Joe Calnan to discuss these #cyber risks and possible ways to mitigate them on the latest #EnergySecurityCubed. Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gKn5eTs4 This conversation is based on Kristen's recent article, co-authored with Alexis Rapin for War on the Rocks: https://lnkd.in/d2wZ8g4n

The defence industry continues to invest in the cyber and technology capabilities to strengthen its resilience against global threats. We are proud to partner with innovative organisations to provide solutions and support to this current rapid state of growth.

Cyberattacks against critical infrastructure—such as manufacturing, utilities, transport, and healthcare—can destabilize societies and damage economies. This is a major reason attackers backed by hostile nation-states target them. Since 2021, we have detected more than 700 cyberattacks on the operational technology (OT) that controls critical infrastructure. Not only have traditional cyber defenses failed to stop these attacks, but they need to understand the sophisticated new forms of attack that have emerged in recent years. Our new White Paper outlines the cybersecurity challenges facing companies with critical infrastructure. We also provide a new approach for defending against code-level or process-level attacks that specifically target critical devices and applications. We see the attacks that existing defenses are missing. Download the new White Paper today: https://lnkd.in/dkWj6gJj https://lnkd.in/e-hgPzzP #ARIA #ZeroTrust #CriticalInfrastructure #AZTPROTECT

Critical infrastructure is the lifeline of modern society. The energy and water supply, communications networks and transportation systems all share one thing in common: as critical infrastructure, they depend on information technology. Data is one of the most valuable resources in the modern world and one that is under unprecedented threat from cyberattacks – and the threat is rising. Against this backdrop of constantly changing cyber threats, it is essential for industries with high security requirements, such as government agencies, the defense industry and critical infrastructure operators, to reliably meet applicable IT security standards and ensure the best possible protection for their IT infrastructure. Rohde & Schwarz contributes significantly to this effort with its forward-looking technologies. For a resilient society in a safer and connected world.

Are We Really Safe? A Dive Into Cybersecurity's Latest Battleground In a world where digital threats loom larger by the day, one might wonder if our defenses are truly up to the task. Recently, Imperva – now under Thales wings – uncovered how the notorious 8220 gang exploited a chink in Oracle Weblogic's armor, unleashing malware with potentially devastating effects. This revelation isn't just a testament to our team's vigilance but a glaring beacon highlighting cybersecurity's ever-evolving warfare. This incident throws into sharp relief not just the sophistication of cybercriminals but also the critical need for relentless advancement in our security measures. It underscores a stark reality: in cyberspace, complacency could be catastrophic. While it’s commendable that Imperva's threat research department is on its toes, this scenario begs a broader question – are businesses across industries prepared to stand their ground against such insidious threats? Let’s turn this moment of revelation into action. If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s that awareness and preparation are non-negotiables in today’s digital age.

🔒 Transparency plays a crucial role in the development of comprehensive defense mechanisms in our digital age. 🌐 Open communication about threats and mitigation strategies enables effective contribution from industry and the public. 🤝 Whole-of-society defense involves collaboration across sectors to address multifaceted threats. 💻 In a world of cyber threats and conflicts, transparency fosters inclusive defenses that safeguard national security and societal prosperity. 🔒 Embracing transparency is key to creating a resilient defense ecosystem. #Transparency #Cybersecurity [Link to article]
