Understand, Assess and Rate Your Cybersecurity Risk Level

Critical infrastructure owners and operators have managed industrial risk for hundreds of years. This risk is usually measured in impact to health, safety, and reliability. As these industrial systems become increasingly digitized, so does the risk. What were once seen as isolated, manual processes have become reliant on communication networks and digital devices.

We live in an increasingly connected world, where more and more devices and systems are networked and shared with other systems. Convenience is a main driver behind this trend, as people have come to expect the ability to connect to and control devices and systems anywhere, anytime. However, there is a downside to the unprecedented level of convenience provided by the growing number of networked devices, namely increased security risk. Because each device is an endpoint for networks, they introduce the potential to become entry points for hackers and others with malicious intents. In fact, in many of the most high-profile data breaches that have occurred recently, hackers were able to access corporate networks through POS, HVAC and other networked systems that failed to provide an adequate level of security to prevent these types of breaches.

Cybersecurity can seem overwhelming, and there’s plenty of long to-do lists. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has the Critical Security Controls, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has its 27000-series publications, and ISACA manages its COBIT 5 framework. Layer those atop compliance mandates like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) — and it’s often hard to know where to start.

Digital transformation has brought significant benefits to organizations, including increased agility and flexibility, but it has also led to a rise in cyber attack vectors. 66% of organizations were hit with ransomware within the last year, according to a 2022 Sophos survey. The widespread adoption of cloud services and Software-as-aService (SaaS) applications has expanded the attack surface, making it more challenging to manage and secure data. Additionally, the increased use of mobile devices and remote work have made it easier for cybercriminals to launch attacks from anywhere, at any time.

Data has become a new global currency. As with other currencies, it has also become a target for threats from those who wish to exploit its value. Ransomware is the new threat to data and it’s wreaking havoc on businesses of all sizes around the world. Until recently, if you ask an IT organization to describe typical causes for service outages they would most likely mention network failures, power failures, hardware failures, user error, etc. In today’s world, we can add ransomware to that list.

The emergence of IoT – the networked connection of people, process, data and things – is expected to significantly grow the number of connected devices worldwide, from billions of units we have today, to tens of billions of units expected to be deployed in the coming years as stated by several analysts.
