SASE network: connecting security and the cloud

A centralized approach in the cloud has as many limitations as an on-premises data center. But you can also connect a SASE network, security and the cloud. A comment from Stefan Schachinger, Product Manager Network Security - IoT/OT/ICS at Barracuda. The much-cited prophecy that life punishes those who come late seems to find its truth in IT network security as well. At the beginning of the pandemic, many companies were forced to switch from office work to home office - often with incomplete security regarding the IT infrastructure. A feast for hackers! Now remote work is not really something new;…

Attacks on IIoT in the German healthcare system
Attacks on IIoT in the German healthcare system

Kaspersky study: Attacks on IIoT platforms in the German healthcare system increased. 21,3 percent of German companies experienced an increase in cyber attacks on their IIoT platforms during the Covid 19 pandemic. Only 30,7 percent believe that their IIoT is adequately secured. The health industry has been increasingly threatened by digital attacks since the corona pandemic. In the health sector, IIoT platforms and thus devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRT) and computed tomography (CT) are also affected. Portable medical devices for remote monitoring of patients, such as measuring devices for blood sugar or blood pressure, are also vulnerable, provided they are connected to the office infrastructure. More than the half…
