Forging open and unified industrial network architecture with TSN and single-pair Ethernet - Industrial Cybersecurity Pulse

May 30, 2024 | industrialcybersecuritypulse.com | Lisa M Chang |Leann Wang

TSN and SPE Insights Continuous improvements in Ethernet, such as faster data transmission, real-time communication and broader connectivity, are essential for its relevance in industrial settings. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) ensures real-time, deterministic communication, while single-pair Ethernet (SPE) enables long-distance data and power transmission over a single pair of wires, enhancing Ethernet’s industrial applications.
Malware Profile: TrickBot targets industrial organizations - Industrial Cybersecurity Pulse

May 1, 2024 | industrialcybersecuritypulse.com | Gary Cohen

TrickBot malware is a banking Trojan released in 2016, but it has since evolved well past that. It is now a modular, multiphase malware capable of a wide variety of illicit operations, from stealing credentials and data, to installing backdoors to enable remote access, to downloading and installing other malware or ransomware to carry out secondary attacks. Perhaps the most concerning thing about TrickBot is how modular it has become.

Malware Profile: VOLTZITE targets industrial organizations - Industrial Cybersecurity Pulse

Mar 15, 2024 | industrialcybersecuritypulse.com | Gary Cohen

For years, the basic precept in cybersecurity was that threat actors primarily targeted information technology (IT) systems. The idea was that thanks to air gapping and complexity, operational technology (OT) was generally safe. It takes specific knowledge to understand how to hit a programmable logic controller (PLC) or water/wastewater plant. However, in their recent year in review report, Dragos identified a new threat group, VOLTZITE, that has been targeting industrial organizations since 2021.
The Ethical Considerations of AI in Cybersecurity: Ethan Schmertzler, Dispel, ICS Pulse Podcast - Industrial Cybersecurity Pulse

Mar 6, 2024 | industrialcybersecuritypulse.com | Gary Cohen

Whether we’re ready for it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) is coming to industrial networks. Many manufacturers are already using it to help with efficiency gains and cost reduction. But what are the ethical ramifications of using AI in cybersecurity, and should the government be regulating it more? The ICS Pulse Podcast recently sat down with Ethan Schmertzler of Dispel to talk about AI’s impact on industrial cybersecurity and moving target defense. The following has been edited for clarity.
