Cyber Defense: US Gov. Cybersecurity Strategy in 2021

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

We discuss the Biden administration and executive orders relating to cyber security in the wake of the Colonial Pipeline hack that is causing people to hoard gas, panic & face supply challenges.

The OT systems (operational technology) typically attacked include sensors, relays, pumps and anything that signals back to a computer that controls the operation of the pipeline. These SCATA systems have software layered on top of their OS that specialize in communications between inter-office servers and are a prime target for attackers.

Understanding the relationships between these systems can help protect against future attackers looking for critical systems devices to target.

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.
