Citect which this week came under fire for a vulnerability in its SCADA software, commonly used in critical infrastructure, has reassured its customers that a breach is extremely unlikely. One technologist wants the public to understand why releasing exploit code for a dangerous vulnerability is sometimes the right thing to do. A vulnerability discovered in SCADA could grant a remote attacker control over critical infrastructure, researchers said on Wednesday.
Researchers have discovered a rare bug in a Windows-based control software package used by as many as one-third of the world's industrial plants.
So you want to be a CISO? Make sure you know what the top role involves - and what it doesn't, says Paul Simmonds. The easiest way into any system is likely to be the defaults, so make sure you don't leave an open door for criminals. Hackers were able to infiltrate an overseas power grid to knock out the lights for several international cities, a CIA analyst told attendees at a SANS Institute conference in New Orleans. SC US handed out crystal balls to several analysts, consultants, professors and CSOs and asked them to answer questions about next year. One of the main reasons why people are resisting Internet banking is due to concerns around IT security. The 9/11 attacks may have left the nation's power grid unaffected in 2001, but the August 2003 blackout knocked out power to some 400 million Americans. Combined, these incidents stressed the possible impact a widespread outage could cause and prompted concerns about cybersecurity. The monitoring systems of power plants and other industrial installments will become better defended against internet-based threats in coming years, one leading security analyst has predicted. Now that ever more apps are made for the web, a technology born there is getting a chance to shine. Only the NISCC would launch a public website without telling anyone. Ron Condon meets the man who runs Britain’s IT defence unit An industry group led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a set of cybersecurity requirements for computer systems used to control industrial processes for water, electrical power, and other infrastructures. Boots Group PLC, one of the largest health and beauty companies in the United Kingdom, has deployed a biometric system designed to boost user authentication security. Before he left his post as White House cyberspace security advisor last May, Howard Schmidt promised top federal officials that he would create a greater leadership role in the private sector on cybersecurity. A consortium of cybersecurity institutions has launched an $8.5 million research initiative to help secure supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems used in critical infrastructure sectors.
