Cyber Defence: Colonial Pipeline Cyber Attack

Preventative security measures help ensure the safe operation of pipelines & critical infrastructure, with cyber attacks becoming more common in the digital world.

Here we go with a pipeline that transports 100 million gallons of gas from Houston to New York that has been completely shut down as the result of a ransomware breach.

Oil, Gas & Energy sectors are a prime target for opportunistic crime groups using Ransomware as a service. A piece of critical infrastructure like a pipeline could be compromised by attackers looking for a payday vs. state sponsored groups acting with political motives.

What does cyber security look like today? We talk about the modern landscape of career criminals compromising assets on a regular basis and making money hacking, deploying or selling access through a criminal supply chain with incentives and affiliates monetizing that access using malware.

It can be overwhelming for a business to know how to detect, prioritize and fix vulnerabilities on their own. The safest option is to entrust the services of a professional cybersecurity company that can help create a customized vulnerability management tool. Cycura can equip your team to fight back against the cyber invaders starting with an enterprise vulnerability assessment.
