Policy compliance: Risk assessment is the first step

Implementing national and European cybersecurity guidelines can be burdensome for companies, thereby impeding compliance. Compliance with regulations is intended to help companies identify security risks and improve risk management. With GDPR, DORA, and the currently pending NIS2, more and more regulations and guidelines are being introduced that companies must comply with. This has led some companies to believe that compliance is more of a burden than a start to improving their security measures. This carries the risk that security…

Cyberattacks: Russia targets German KRITIS

Russia is deliberately using destructive malware and threatening critical infrastructure in Germany with its digital warfare. The increasing aggressiveness, particularly illustrated by the GRU's Unit 29155, makes it clear how closely physical and digital warfare are now linked. The GRU's Unit 29155, which is already known for attacks, acts of sabotage and assassinations in Europe, has now also specialized in cyberspace. The Russian unit has significantly expanded its tactics since at least 2020. Information from a community of state organizations such as the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), the FBI, the CISA and many others...

How companies protect their OT environments

OT environments have grown significantly in recent years and have become increasingly targeted by cybercriminals. Attacks on these systems can cause significant damage across the entire company, which is why it is so important to protect them comprehensively. Critical infrastructure and production environments are now more exposed than ever to cybersecurity risks that were often not taken into account when these systems were originally developed. A deep understanding of the specifics of OT environments, the challenges they face and the best practices for protecting these systems is therefore essential. In recent years, the OT market has seen considerable growth…

State cyberattacks against critical infrastructure

State-sponsored cyberattacks are becoming an increasingly significant threat as digital systems have become indispensable to governments, businesses and critical infrastructure. These attacks, often motivated by geopolitical interests, have the potential to disrupt operations on a scale comparable to the consequences of physical warfare. Politically motivated cyber incidents between rival nations have increased sharply since the mid-2000s, with clear spikes during conflicts such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing tensions between the US and China. The vpnMentor report highlights that countries such as Russia,…

This paints a frightening picture of the threat situation facing companies and underscores the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures. Evolving cyber threats The scale of the current challenge is increasing in combination with...

Threat potential from state actors

The extent of the current threat situation is illustrated by a cyber attack that recently occurred in Ukraine. According to Ukraine's State Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-UA), an unnamed state-owned company was compromised, infecting around 2.000 computers with the DIRTYMOE (PURPLEFOX) malware. It is a modular malware that allows attackers remote access and is primarily used for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The exact impact on Ukrainian operations was not disclosed.
