Securely manage PKI certificates
Securely manage PKI certificates

As hardware and software increase, the number of certificates for these devices is increasing. A cybersecurity company has now launched a free solution for PKI-based certificate lifecycle management. The administration and management of public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates is a task that is becoming increasingly complex. Not only is the number of devices and software solutions that require corresponding certificates increasing, but the regulatory requirements for secure certificate management are also increasing, both in the B2C and B2B environment. At the same time, regular, in most cases annual, updating of these certificates is an important security requirement, especially in...

Secure Industrial IoT: A challenge for many 
Secure Industrial IoT: A challenge for many - Image by Vilius Kukanauskas on Pixabay

The concept of Industry 4.0 is essentially based on the digitization and networking of a company's production, logistics and administration. The core building blocks are the devices, sensors and machines connected to the company network and the Internet - the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). For years, companies around the world have been working on the most comprehensive implementation of Industry 4.0 possible - including in Germany. According to an IDC survey from the end of last year, almost half of DACH companies want to increase the speed with which they can develop their IoT and IIoT parks this year...

BSI study: Industrial IoT microcontrollers are vulnerable
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

The BSI publishes a study on possible attacks on microcontrollers that are installed in industrial IoT in the aviation or automotive sectors in particular. The study shows that several attacks on microcontrollers are possible, but can be prevented with the right software. The Fraunhofer Institute AISEC prepared the study "A Study on Hardware Attacks against Microcontrollers" on behalf of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), which presents the current status of hardware attacks on microcontrollers. Study shows attack possibilities The publication describes easy-to-implement countermeasures that can prevent many attacks or reduce the effort for…

Novel OT and IoT endpoint security sensor
Novel OT and IoT endpoint security sensor

A new OT and IoT endpoint security sensor aims to provide more security. Nozomi Networks introduces the first security sensor for this area of ​​application, which is intended to drastically reduce operational reliability. Nozomi Arc aims to be the industry's first OT and IoT sensor to bring more security to the endpoint. This sensor dramatically shortens the time it takes to develop significantly higher resilience in operational use. Nozomi Arc is designed to be automatically deployed across a large number of locations and devices wherever a business needs more visibility. The new sensor also provides important data...

OT/IoT Security Report: Botnets Attack IIoT
OT/IoT Security Report: Botnets Attack IIoT

A cybersecurity threat analysis for the second half of 2022: Cyber ​​attacks via botnets on critical infrastructures with IoT / OT continued and targeted rail transport, energy sector, manufacturing and hospitals. The latest OT/IoT Security Report from Nozomi Networks Labs reveals that wiper malware, IoT botnet activity, and the Ukraine War were major drivers of the 2022 threat landscape. As in the first half of 2022, the company's researchers have observed cybercriminals shifting their tactics from data theft and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks to more destructive malware. The aim here was to…

IoT: Are SASE and Zero Trust the key?
IoT: Are SASE and Zero Trust the key?

Are SASE and Zero Trust the key to secure IoT implementation in production environments? As manufacturing companies dive headfirst into smart factory initiatives, the number of IoT devices in factories, warehouses, and across supply chain infrastructure is exploding. Companies want to use the Internet of Things in various places, e.g. B. with the help of video cameras on the assembly line, temperature sensors on cooling units or telemetry sensors for the maintenance of factory facilities. But while trying to capitalize on the tremendous business benefits of intelligent devices in the industrial IoT, they must also weigh the potential risks that…

Cyber ​​security goes far beyond classic endpoints

Cyber ​​security: IP cameras, building access solutions, sensors on assembly lines or printers connected to the web are making the front line of companies to the Internet increasingly confusing and increasing the potential for attack. Four arguments for a "security perspective" on the Internet of Things. If you want to protect yourself against hackers from the Internet of Things, you need more information and access to the IoT hardware - through extended endpoint security. This applies to all companies - especially for production and healthcare, which integrate IoT directly and very strongly into their processes. New IoT hardware due to pandemic…
