gh Cybersecurity Snapshot: Apply Zero Trust to Critical Infrastructure’s OT/ICS, CSA Advises, as Five Eyes Spotlight Tech Startups’ Security By www.tenable.com Published On :: Fri, 01 Nov 2024 09:00:00 -0400 Should critical infrastructure orgs boost OT/ICS systems’ security with zero trust? Absolutely, the CSA says. Meanwhile, the Five Eyes countries offer cyber advice to tech startups. Plus, a survey finds “shadow AI” weakening data governance. And get the latest on MFA methods, CISO trends and Uncle Sam’s AI strategy.Dive into six things that are top of mind for the week ending Nov. 1.1 - Securing OT/ICS in critical infrastructure with zero trustAs their operational technology (OT) computing environments become more digitized, converged with IT systems and cloud-based, critical infrastructure organizations should beef up their cybersecurity by adopting zero trust principles.That’s the key message of the Cloud Security Alliance’s “Zero Trust Guidance for Critical Infrastructure,” which focuses on applying zero trust methods to OT and industrial control system (ICS) systems.While OT/ICS environments were historically air gapped, that’s rarely the case anymore. “Modern systems are often interconnected via embedded wireless access, cloud and other internet-connected services, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications,” reads the 64-page white paper, which was published this week.The CSA hopes the document will help cybersecurity teams and OT/ICS operators enhance the way they communicate and collaborate. Among the topics covered are:Critical infrastructure’s unique threat vectorsThe convergence of IT/OT with digital transformationArchitecture and technology differences between OT and ITThe guide also outlines this five-step process for implementing zero trust in OT/ICS environments:Define the surface to be protectedMap operational flowsBuild a zero trust architectureDraft a zero trust policyMonitor and maintain the environmentA zero trust strategy boosts the security of critical OT/ICS systems by helping teams “keep pace with rapid technological advancements and the evolving threat landscape,” Jennifer Minella, the paper’s lead author, said in a statement.To get more details, read:The report’s announcement “New Paper from Cloud Security Alliance Examines Considerations and Application of Zero Trust Principles for Critical Infrastructure”The full report “Zero Trust Guidance for Critical Infrastructure”A complementary slide presentationFor more information about OT systems cybersecurity, check out these Tenable resources: “What is operational technology (OT)?” (guide)“Discover, Measure, and Minimize the Risk Posed by Your Interconnected IT/OT/IoT Environments” (on-demand webinar)“How To Secure All of Your Assets - IT, OT and IoT - With an Exposure Management Platform” (blog)“Blackbox to blueprint: The security leader’s guidebook to managing OT and IT risk” (white paper)“Tenable Cloud Risk Report 2024” (white paper)2 - Five Eyes publish cyber guidance for tech startupsStartup tech companies can be attractive targets for hackers, especially if they have weak cybersecurity and valuable intellectual property (IP).To help startups prevent cyberattacks, the Five Eyes countries this week published cybersecurity guides tailored for these companies and their investors.“This guidance is designed to help tech startups protect their innovation, reputation, and growth, while also helping tech investors fortify their portfolio companies against security risks," Mike Casey, U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center Director, said in a statement.These are the top five cybersecurity recommendations from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S. and the U.K. for tech startups:Be aware of threat vectors, including malicious insiders, insecure IT and supply chain risk.Identify your most critical assets and conduct a risk assessment to pinpoint vulnerabilities.Build security into your products by managing intellectual assets and IP; monitoring who has access to sensitive information; and ensuring this information’s protection.Conduct due diligence when choosing partners and make sure they’re equipped to protect the data you share with them.Before you expand abroad, prepare and become informed about these new markets by, for example, understanding local laws in areas such as IP protection and data protection. “Sophisticated nation-state adversaries, like China, are working hard to steal the intellectual property held by some of our countries’ most innovative and exciting startups,” Ken McCallum, Director General of the U.K.’s MI5, said in a statement.To get more details, check out these Five Eyes’ cybersecurity resources for tech startups:The announcement “Five Eyes Launch Shared Security Advice Campaign for Tech Startups”The main guides: “Secure Innovation: Security Advice for Emerging Technology Companies”“Secure Innovation: Security Advice for Emerging Technology Investors”These complementary documents:“Secure Innovation: Scenarios and Mitigations”“Secure Innovation: Travel Security Guidance”“Secure Innovation: Due Diligence Guidance”“Secure Innovation: Companies Summary”3 - Survey: Unapproved AI use impacting data governanceEmployees’ use of unauthorized AI tools is creating compliance issues in a majority of organizations. Specifically, it makes it harder to control data governance and compliance, according to almost 60% of organizations surveyed by market researcher Vanson Bourne.“Amid all the investment and adoption enthusiasm, many organisations are struggling for control and visibility over its use,” reads the firm’s “AI Barometer: October 2024” publication. Vanson Bourne polls 100 IT and business executives each month about their AI investment plans.To what extent do you think the unsanctioned use of AI tools is impacting your organisation's ability to maintain control over data governance and compliance?(Source: Vanson Bourne’s “AI Barometer: October 2024”)Close to half of organizations surveyed (44%) believe that at least 10% of their employees are using unapproved AI tools.On a related front, organizations are also grappling with the issue of software vendors that unilaterally and silently add AI features to their products, especially to their SaaS applications.While surveyed organizations say they’re reaping advantages from their AI usage, “such benefits are dependent on IT teams having the tools to address the control and visibility challenges they face,” the publication reads.For more information about the use of unapproved AI tools, an issue also known as “shadow AI,” check out:“Do You Think You Have No AI Exposures? Think Again” (Tenable)“Shadow AI poses new generation of threats to enterprise IT” (TechTarget)“10 ways to prevent shadow AI disaster” (CIO)“Never Trust User Inputs -- And AI Isn't an Exception: A Security-First Approach” (Tenable)“Shadow AI in the ‘dark corners’ of work is becoming a big problem for companies” (CNBC)VIDEOShadow AI Risks in Your Company 4 - NCSC explains nuances of multi-factor authenticationMulti-factor authentication (MFA) comes in a variety of flavors, and understanding the differences is critical for choosing the right option for each use case in your organization.To help cybersecurity teams better understand the different MFA types and their pluses and minuses, the U.K. National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has updated its MFA guidance.“The new guidance explains the benefits that come with strong authentication, while also minimising the friction that some users associate with MFA,” reads an NCSC blog. In other words, what type of MFA method to use depends on people’s roles, how they work, the devices they use, the applications or services they’re accessing and so on.Topics covered include:Recommended types of MFA, such as FIDO2 credentials, app-based and hardware-based code generators and message-based methodsThe importance of using strong MFA to secure users’ access to sensitive dataThe role of trusted devices in boosting and simplifying MFABad practices that weaken MFA’s effectiveness, such as:Retaining weaker, password-only authentication protocols for legacy servicesExcluding certain accounts from MFA requirements because their users, usually high-ranking officials, find MFA inconvenientTo get more details, read:The NCSC blog “Not all types of MFA are created equal”The NCSC guide “Multi-factor authentication for your corporate online services”For more information about MFA:“Multifactor Authentication Cheat Sheet” (OWASP)“Deploying Multi Factor Authentication – The What, How, and Why” (SANS Institute)“How MFA gets hacked — and strategies to prevent it” (CSO)“How Multifactor Authentication Supports Growth for Businesses Focused on Zero Trust” (BizTech)“What is multi-factor authentication?” (TechTarget)5 - U.S. gov’t outlines AI strategy, ties it to national security The White House has laid out its expectations for how the federal government ought to promote the development of AI in order to safeguard U.S. national security.In the country’s first-ever National Security Memorandum (NSM) on AI, the Biden administration said the federal government must accomplish the following:Ensure the U.S. is the leader in the development of safe, secure and trustworthy AILeverage advanced AI technologies to boost national securityAdvance global AI consensus and governance“The NSM’s fundamental premise is that advances at the frontier of AI will have significant implications for national security and foreign policy in the near future,” reads a White House statement. The NSM’s directives to federal agencies include:Help improve the security of chips and support the development of powerful supercomputers to be used by AI systems.Help AI developers protect their work against foreign spies by providing them with cybersecurity and counterintelligence information.Collaborate with international partners to create a governance framework for using AI in a way that is ethical, responsible and respects human rights. The White House also published a complementary document titled “Framework To Advance AI Governance and Risk Management in National Security,” which adds implementation details and guidance for the NSM.6 - State CISOs on the frontlines of AI securityAs the cybersecurity risks and benefits of AI multiply, most U.S. state CISOs find themselves at the center of their governments' efforts to craft AI security strategies and policies.That’s according to the “2024 Deloitte-NASCIO Cybersecurity Study,” which surveyed CISOs from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.Specifically, 88% of state CISOs reported being involved in the development of a generative AI strategy, while 96% are involved with creating a generative AI security policy.However, their involvement in AI cybersecurity matters isn’t necessarily making them optimistic about their states’ ability to fend off AI-boosted attacks.None said they feel “extremely confident” that their state can prevent AI-boosted attacks, while only 10% reported feeling “very confident.” The majority (43%) said they feel “somewhat confident” while the rest said they are either “not very confident” or “not confident at all.” Naturally, most state CISOs see AI-enabled cyberthreats as significant, with 71% categorizing them as either “very high threat” (18%) or “somewhat high threat” (53%).At the same time, state CISOs see the potential for AI to help their cybersecurity efforts, as 41% are already using generative AI for cybersecurity, and another 43% have plans to do so by mid-2025.Other findings from the "2024 Deloitte-NASCIO Cybersecurity Study" include:4 in 10 state CISOs feel their budget is insufficient.Almost half of respondents rank cybersecurity staffing as one of the top challenges.In the past two years, 23 states have hired new CISOs, as the median tenure of a state CISO has dropped to 23 months, down from 30 months in 2022.More state CISOs are taking on privacy protection duties — 86% are responsible for privacy protection, up from 60% two years ago.For more information about CISO trends:“What’s important to CISOs in 2024” (PwC)“The CISO’s Tightrope: Balancing Security, Business, and Legal Risks in 2024” (The National CIO Review)“State of CISO Leadership: 2024” (SC World)“4 Trends That Will Define the CISO's Role in 2024” (SANS Institute) Full Article

By library.gcpl.lib.oh.us Published On :: "When Kristen Radtke was in her twenties, she learned that, as her father was growing up, he would crawl onto his roof in rural Wisconsin and send signals out on his ham radio. Those CQ calls were his attempt to reach somebody— anybody— who would respond. In Seek You, Radtke uses this image as her jumping off point into a piercing exploration of loneliness and the ways in which we attempt to feel closer to one another. She looks at the very real current crisis of loneliness through the lenses of gender, violence, technology, and art. Ranging from the invention of the laugh-track to Instagram to Harry Harlow's experiments in which infant monkeys were given inanimate surrogate mothers, Radtke uncovers all she can about how we engage with friends, family, and strangers alike, and what happens— to us and to them— when we disengage. With her distinctive, emotionally charged drawings and unflinchingly sharp prose, Kristen Radtke masterfully reframes some of our most vulnerable and sublime moments." -- Provided by publisher.

At a magical Christmas fete, Karen McAlister meets a man she cannot ignore-the first man to interest her in a long while. Before she laid eyes on Rand Prescott, Karen would have said her life was complete and content . . . much to the dismay of her widowed father, who would love to see her married and settled. But everything changed that enchanted night: The stars, the moonlight, the music, and the champagne all conspired to throw two people together. But the fates are determined to pull them apart. Long ago, Rand Prescott erected a steel façade around his heart. He never had any intention of maintaining any kind of relationship with a woman. Independent, proud, and nearly blind, Rand felt he had no capacity to return a woman's love. But that was before he met Karen. In one night, she shattered all of his preconceived ideas about romance and threatened to break through his walls. Rand is convinced that Karen deserves better than the love of a blind man. Can he ever accept this beguiling woman into his life-and into his soul? Full Article
