2023-03-24 00:00:00 | Pourquoi les petites entreprises devraient apprendre les compétences nécessaires pour améliorer leur cybersécurité Why Small Businesses should Learn the Skills to Improve their Cybersecurity (lien direct) |
Comme présenté dans le Supplement Irish Independent Business Resilience
Toutes les entreprises courent un risque important de cyberattaque - y compris les PME.Cependant, ils peuvent se protéger avec la bonne formation et une approche de cybersécurité plus proactive.
La plupart des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) ne sont que trop conscientes des risques de cyberattaque, note Donna O \\ 'Shea, présidente de la cybersécurité à Munster Technological University (MTU) et le chef de projet à Cyber Skills - un projet financé à l'échelle nationalequi vise à répondre à la pénurie de compétences en cybersécurité.
Les menaces de cybersécurité croissantes pour les PME
Selon le Cybersecurity Consortium Pmesec, 60% de toutes les cyberattaques en 2016 étaient destinées aux petites entreprises.Ce qui est de plus, 60% des PME qui ont été victimes d'attaques ne se sont pas rétablies et ont fermé dans les six mois.Malgré ces statistiques, les PME ne traitent pas toujours correctement les questions de cybersécurité - et pour diverses raisons.
«Certains propriétaires d'entreprise peuvent manquer de confiance et de capacités techniques pour répondre aux risques de cybersécurité», explique O \\ 'Shea.«D'autres minimisent le problème et demandent: \\ 'Qui essaierait de pirater mon entreprise de toute façon? \' Mais si leur base de données de clients \\ 'Informations personnelles subit une violation, c'est un problème majeur de conformité du RGPD.»
Il y a aussi beaucoup de dissonance cognitive entourant ce sujet, admet O \\ 'Shea.«Il y a une tendance à penser aux PME: \\ 'Oui, notre entreprise est en danger - mais nous allons l'oublier. \' Nous devons changer leur état d'esprit pour: \\ 'Oui, notre entreprise est en danger - mais nous pouvons y répondre correctement avec les bonnes compétences et la bonne formation. »
Retirer la mystique autour de la cybersécurité
Cyber Skills a développé la cybersécurité pour les entreprises - une série d'ateliers relatable livrée par des experts de l'industrie.Cela a été conçu pour fournir aux propriétaires d'entreprise les connaissances et les compétences clés pour se protéger contre les cyberattaques et supprimer une partie de la mystique entourant le sujet.
Être proactif sur la cybersécurité
Depuis trop longtemps, les entreprises ont adopté une approche \\ 'défensive et réactionnaire de la cybersécurité - avec des pare-feu, des systèmes de détection d'intrusion et des anti-virus faisant tout le gros du travail.Bien que ce soient toutes des mesures de sécurité importantes à avoir mis en place, au moment où un système réagit à une violation, les dommages ont déjà été causés.
«Au lieu de cela, nous exhortons les entreprises à adopter une approche prédictive et réactive de la cybersécurité», explique O \\ 'Shea.«Les ateliers les aident à identifier où se trouvent leurs plus grands risques d'attaque.Nous appliquons des modèles, des outils et des techniques bien connus et montrons aux PME comment créer un plan de réponse aux incidents et un plan de continuité des activités - adapté à leurs besoins - de sorte que, en cas d'attaque, ils peuvent se remettre en service aussi rapidement aussi rapidementcomme possible.En fin de compte, les entreprises doivent commencer à penser à la cybersécurité d'une manière plus structurée et proactive. »

As featured in the Irish Independent Business Resilience supplement All businesses are at significant risk of cyberattack - including SMEs. However, they can protect themselves with the right training and a more proactive cybersecurity approach. Most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are only too aware of the risks of cyberattack, notes Donna O\'Shea, Chair of Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University (MTU) and Project Lead at Cyber Skills - a n |

2022-11-14 00:00:00 | Cyber Skills au Global Anti Summit 2022 Cyber Skills at the Global Anti Scam Summit 2022 (lien direct) |
Les 9 et 10 novembre, le 3e Sommet mondial anti-escroquerie (GASS) a eu lieu à La Haye.L'objectif du sommet est d'aider les gouvernements, les autorités financières et financières, les forces de l'ordre, les agences de protection de la marque et les organisations commerciales partagent des connaissances et des informations sur la lutte contre les escroqueries en ligne et définir des actions concrètes pour lutter contre la fraude en ligne plus efficacement et plus efficacement.
Offrant une combinaison de présentations, de conférences et d'ateliers, l'événement est également devenu victime d'une fausse alarme incendie, d'activité troll sur le chat en direct et d'un piratage du flux en direct tandis que M. Jack Whittaker, un doctorant à l'Université de Surrey,Faisait une présentation sur les raisons pour lesquelles les internautes sont arnaqués.
Commentant le sommet, Jacqueline Kehoe, le chef de projet des cyber-compétences de MTU \\, a ré-souligné l'importance de rester vigilant alors qu'elle racontait une fausse société de cybersécurité basée à Singapour, le groupe-IB, menée pendant l'événement.
L'entreprise a ciblé 100 participants au sommet, mais de faux comptes LinkedIn.Les participants ont été informés qu'ils avaient été sélectionnés par les organisateurs pour participer à un tirage au sort et ont reçu un lien qui demandait leurs coordonnées personnelles.Trente-cinq participants ont cliqué sur le faux lien, 15 ont rempli le faux formulaire et ont soumis leurs coordonnées personnelles et deux informations supplémentaires meublées.
On 9th and 10th of November, the 3rd Global Anti Scam Summit (GASS) was held at The Hague. The goal of the summit is to help governments, consumer and financial authorities, law enforcement, brand protection agencies, and commercial organisations share knowledge and insights on fighting online scams and define concrete actions to combat online fraud more effectively and efficiently. Delivering a combination of presentations, lectures and workshops, the event also became victim to a false fire alarm, troll activity on the live Zoom chat, and a hack of the live stream while Mr Jack Whittaker, a PhD candidate at the University of Surrey, was giving a presentation on why Internet users get scammed. Commenting on the summit, MTU\'s Cyber Skills Project Manager, Jacqueline Kehoe, re-emphasised the importance of remaining vigilant as she recounted a fake scam Singapore-based cyber-security company Group-IB conducted during the event. The company targeted 100 participants at the summit though fake LinkedIn accounts. Participants were told they had been selected by the organisers to take part in a lucky draw and were sent a link that asked for their personal details. Thirty-five participants clicked the fake link, 15 completed the fake form and submitted their personal details, and two furnished additional information. |

2022-07-25 00:00:00 | Sécurisez votre technologie opérationnelle (OT) contre les attaques en ligne avec un nouveau programme de diplôme professionnel de la cybersécurité Secure your Operational Technology (OT) against online attacks with new cyber security professional diploma programme (lien direct) |
As featured in The Independent, Prof. Thomas Newe, Associate Professor with UL\'s Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, explains why the new cyber security professional diploma programme is particularly beneficial for IT professionals who are unfamiliar with OT. The article is included below or via this link: independent.ie --- Cyber security: why it matters Cyber security has been pushed to the forefront of public consciousness in recent years, thanks to a spate of high-profile hacks and ransomware attacks that have occurred both internationally and in Ireland. Vital business operations in many industries are increasingly carried out and managed online, which has given rise to a heightened need for comprehensive digital security training and awareness. One of the primary concerns of industry leaders in the manufacturing field is how they can secure the seamless functioning of their OT (Operational Technology) systems. OT is a term that describes hardware and software which is used to oversee and control the physical devices, processes and events associated with any given business enterprise. With the advent of Industry 4.0, which seeks to establish automated protocols and operation guidelines for the manufacturing industry, the secure functioning of OT systems underpinning manufacturing processes is paramount. Unlike IT attacks that generally target data, OT attacks focus on industrial control systems (ICS), leading to a tangible physical impact. For example, during a 2017 Triton/Trisis cyberattack on a Middle East petrochemical plant\'s safety instrumentation system, the attackers triggered an outage that could have led to the release of toxic hydrogen sulphide gas or caused explosions. In the USA, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware cyberattack in May 2021 threatened the security of the company\'s oil pipeline infrastructure. This incident highlighted the need for OT engineers to understand and be able to defend against sophisticated cyber attacks. Whilst cyber attacks exist in the digital space, they can have a real and tangible effect on the physical world. Bridging the educational gap Recent hacks within vital sectors of the Irish economy have highlighted both the pressing need for workers who are highly skilled in cyber security, and the current shortage of such workers. The Professional Diploma in OT Security is an innovative new programme that bridges this urgent educational gap. This diploma is jointly offered by two HEA-Human Capital Initiatives: Cyber Skills (Ireland\'s leading cyber security initiative) and UL@Work (a University of Limerick-based initiative that provides digital skills programmes to thoroughly prepare graduates for the workplace). Cyber Skills was established in order to address the critical skills shortage in cyber security by providing flexible, university-accredited online micro-credentials and pathways, delivered by lecturers who are experts in their field. Cyber Skills\' courses have been created by academic leaders in MTU, UL and TU Dublin, as well as the institute\'s industry partners. Integrating OT and IT knowledge The Professional Diploma in OT Security is designed to develop the skills of emerging cyber security experts in Smart Manufacturing. The diploma is ideal for professionals who are directly or indirectly involved in integrating OT and IT systems to facilitate Industry 4.0 standards in their organisation. Programme lecturers actively encourage individuals and companies to invest in their employees\' skills, knowledge and training, in order to protect and strengthen their organisation\'s defence against cyber attacks. Prof. Thomas Newe, Associate Professor with UL\'s Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, explains that the diploma is particularly beneficial for IT professionals who are unfamiliar with OT. “The course really helps IT engineers to better understand OT, and learn how IT securely interfaces with it.” Deeper understanding and career progression: what students can expect The course curriculum will give participants a s | Ransomware Hack Threat Industrial | ★★ | |

Empowering the Younger Generation against Cyber Crime
In June 2021, Cyber Skills and Cyber Ireland collaborated, to bring 97 secondary school students from across Ireland together to participate in an online Cyber Security Academy. The academy, which ran over 4 days, was a mixture of theory, practice, challenges, and prizes that gave the 16-18 year old\'s an opportunity to demonstrate their new skills in a fun way.
As part of the academy students learnt Linux, networking, security, cryptography, and ethical hacking skills.
The academy also featured high profile guest speakers from the Garda National Crime Bureau, Security Professionals, and Industry sponsors such as Huawei.
In preparation for the academy, each student was sent out a \'cyber pack\' including a Hack5 Rubber Ducky USB device, providing the learners with real world ethical hacking skills as part of the program of activities. On the final day of the academy, learners participated in a Capture-the-Flag (CTF) event organised by Zero Days, to further encourage young people to pursue a career in cyber-security. The students divided into teams, displaying the skills they learnt as part of the academy and highlighting how a real world hack can be prevented by what they now know. The prizes for the CTF were sponsored by CMS Distribution, comprising of 4 escooters, 4 microphones and 4 Lenovo earbuds.
Cyber security has been at the forefront of many people\'s minds given the recent and high-profile attack on the HSE. Recent research carried out by Cyber Ireland has also shown that there is a skills shortage in the cyber security sector, with many organisations struggling to fill roles. There is a need to attract students to the industry as they consider their career choices. Emer O\'Neill Director Security Response Center, VMware said that “Living in aninterconnected world it is critically important that we build skills to tackle cybercrime and strengthen the security of our digital lives”. The Cyber Security Academy is a collaborative project funded by SFI Discover programme and jointly led by Ireland\'s National Cyber Security Cluster, Cyber Ireland, and the Higher Education Authority (HEA) funded initiative, Cyber Skills. Industry sponsors, CMS Distribution, Fidelity Investments, Qualcomm, VMWare, Zurich, and Huawei also supported the academy.
We\'re already preparing for next year\'s Cyber Academy as the Science Foundation Ireland Programme Call deadline is the 1st of July for 2022 projects. We plan to build on this year\'s programme (and the learnings) to expand it to other regions, partners and target groups (girls, neuro-diverse people and disadvantaged schools). We\'ll be in touch next week with further information and an ask for a letter of support if you are interested in contributing to the Cyber Academy in 2022.
