How to Remove Complexity as a Threat to Security

America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) mandates (drinking) water systems serving more than 3,300 people to improve cybersecurity measures no later than six months after certifying the completion of a risk and resilience assessment. It is important to understand the various dimensions of the challenges in cyber securing water and wastewater treatment plants before we establish a roadmap to manage cyber threats, risks, and breaches.

Cyber-security is an increasing challenge for the shipping industry and Nautilus is stepping in to help members by co-hosting a special training webinar for seafarers in September. With high profile ransomware attacks on shipping companies such as Maersk and COSCO, operators are under pressure to improve their cyber-security and to develop improved measures to protect their systems from attack. However, there is evidence that many companies are not doing enough to educate seafarers about the risks of cyber-attacks or how to avoid them. Research by Nautilus showed that 86% of crew had never received any cyber security training from their employers. The Union is teaming up with security experts Appsecco and their specialist maritime division ShipSecure, to hold a webinar to raise awareness of cyber security issues onboard.

This webinar from Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) and the Security Industry Association (SIA) will present the findings of The Cybersecurity Imperative research project produced by WSJ Pro Cybersecurity and ESI ThoughtLab and sponsored by SIA. We will share insights into how 1,000-plus organizations around the globe measure their cybersecurity preparedness and how they are preparing for future cyber threats.

To successfully stop hackers, you need to understand them; how their minds work, what their goals are, and which techniques they use to break through your defenses. In this special edition of QRadar’s Under the Radar technical demo series, NA Security Architect and QRadar expert Jose Bravo will demonstrate first hand the sophisticated ways in which hackers today compromise Windows systems, even when they are fully patched and have antivirus deployments. He will then walk through how QRadar is able to detect these SIE technology-evading attacks, keeping your most vital data safe from unwanted eyes.
