NIS 2 ? Everyone is talking about it! Improve your Security Measures! We all know that. Yet someone with authority has to use "force" to ensure that those measures are carried out. Let's say, reduce the chance of a successful cyber attack. Have you read the book "The Art of War"? I haven't! There are different dimensions - air, sea, and land. Bomb or landmine? Do we know when and where? Too complex to put it in a few sentences. Zero Trust = The enemy from within! Living-off-the-Land is not just a point in time! What about an attack when you are in the process of remediating an attack? Is the attack carried out by a person or an army? Even with the perfect strategy the CISO alone would not be successful! NIST 2 CSF> Current Profile,Target Profile and Gap Analysis! Do not forget C-SCRM! Contact me for the implementation details!

As geopolitical tensions rise, so does the threat to critical national infrastructure (CNI). Healthcare, energy, water, defence, and transportation sectors are all in the crosshairs of nation-state actors and cybercriminals. How can organisations defend themselves against these growing risks? Join us for our 🎃 Halloween Threat Briefing on 31 October, 10:00 - 11:00 BST, where Cian Heasley, Threat Lead at Adarma Security, will share key insights from our Q3 2024 Threat Landscape Report. We’ll explore the latest trends in cyberattacks targeting CNI, from hacktivist campaigns to ransomware and more. Register now 👉 https://ow.ly/cNOq50TPCGX Agenda Highlights  🔻 The most active threat adversaries and their activities over Q3, 2024   🔻 The drivers behind the rise of coordinated hacktivist efforts targeting CNI across Europe and the US  🔻 The rise of cyber espionage and data theft campaigns focused on CNI and geopolitical stability  #cybersecurity #threatbriefing #cyberthreats #CNI #weareadarma

Cybersecurity starts with a risk analysis for digital assets! Risk analysis starts with two simple questions: ⁉️Who can make a problem? ⁉️What do you need to protect? In 2025, The answer may be very clear! Let's learn about one of the threat actors: Russia cyberwar playbook: 1. Access Operations: This involves initial reconnaissance and penetration efforts to gain unauthorized access to networks and systems of interest. The goal is to establish a foothold without detection, enabling further actions. 2. Cyber Espionage: Once access is secured, the focus shifts to espionage—stealing sensitive, classified, or valuable information. This can include state secrets, intellectual property, or personal information that can be leveraged for intelligence purposes. 3. Disruptive Attacks: These attacks aim to disrupt or degrade the target’s operations, often through denial of service attacks, data destruction, or manipulating the integrity of systems and processes. The objective can be to cause immediate damage, erode confidence in the systems, or as a precursor to kinetic action. 4. Information Operations: These operations seek to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the decision-making process of adversaries. This can involve spreading disinformation, conducting psychological operations, or manipulating social media and other public forums to sway public opinion or create discord. 5. Use of Destructive Malware: The deployment of various types of destructive malware signifies an aggressive tactic to directly damage, disable, or irreversibly disrupt target systems. This can include viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, and wipers, each designed to achieve specific destructive outcomes. Your first step is clear: ✍️Identify Asset Inventory Outcome: 📑Better identify known, unknown (shadow), and unmanaged assets, and more rapidly detect and respond to new vulnerabilities.
