Cyberattacks on electric power utilities are on the rise. From 2020 to 2022, weekly attacks more than doubled. An attack that exploits a vulnerability in intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) like power distribution units, relay, and circuit breakers can turn off the lights in a neighborhood or entire city. On the surface, it seems simple enough to remediate vulnerabilities as soon as they’re reported—for example, by upgrading firmware. Fact is, detecting and remediating vulnerabilities in operational…

More data can be a double-edged sword. You want to know when events happen across different systems and through disparate vectors. However alert fatigue is a real thing, so quality over quantity matters. The real power of having…

Modern-day vulnerability management tends to follow a straightforward procedure. From a high level, this can be summed up in the following steps: Identify the vulnerabilities in your environment Prioritize which vulnerabilities to address Remediate the vulnerabilities When high-profile vulnerabilities are disclosed, they tend to be prioritized due to concerns that your organization will be hammered with exploit attempts. The general impression is that this malicious activity is highest shortly after disclosure, then decreases as workarounds…
