2022-02-28 17:36:42 | CEO Blog Series: Ukraine Conflict Confirms Russian Cybercrime Connection (lien direct) |
I am watching the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine with the rest of the world. It is heartbreaking and my thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. I had hoped that diplomatic efforts would work and that Putin would pull his troops back, but I would be lying if I said I was completely surprised that Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Aside from displaying Putin's imperialist aspirations, this conflict has also revealed the extent to which Russia has integrated cyber into its military strategy and how much control Russia has over allegedly “independent” cybercrime gangs. |

Throughout history, sometimes truth ends up being even stranger than fiction. Today's parade of multi-million dollar ransomware payout headlines is no exception: cybercriminals and ransomware gangs are outgunning prevention tech and response strategies. Attackers are operationalizing exploits at a record rate, targeting more organizations and are operating to reduce dwell time. |

2022-02-16 14:10:02 | Securing Critical Infrastructure with XDR (lien direct) |
In January, CISA, the FBI and the NSA released a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA), titled Understanding and Mitigating Russian State-Sponsored Cyber Threats to U.S. Critical Infrastructure, that provided an overview of Russian state-sponsored cyber operations, including commonly observed tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), as well as detection actions, incident response guidance, and recommended mitigations.
"Russian state-sponsored APT actors have used sophisticated cyber capabilities to target a variety of U.S. and international critical infrastructure organizations, including those in the Defense Industrial Base as well as the Healthcare and Public Health, Energy, Telecommunications, and Government Facilities Sectors," the advisory states.
"Russian state-sponsored cyber operations against critical infrastructure organizations have specifically targeted operational technology (OT)/industrial control systems (ICS) networks with destructive malware... CISA, the FBI, and NSA encourage the cybersecurity community-especially critical infrastructure network defenders-to adopt a heightened state of awareness and to conduct proactive threat hunting."
While critical infrastructure defense has always been high priority objective, there's still some disconnect in the world of critical infrastructure security around preparedness. According to a report covered by PRNewswire, a majority (84%) of critical infrastructure organizations indicated they had suffered at least one security breach involving their Operational Technology (OT) between 2018 and 2021; yet, 56% of respondents to the same study said they were “highly confident” that they wouldn't experience an OT breach in 2022. |

The situation in Ukraine continues to fluctuate, and U.S. intelligence sources are advising that Russia is preparing for an imminent invasion. Cyberattacks have already been observed in the conflict, and I expect diversions, distractions, and false flags as tensions escalate.
