October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month — a time to reflect on how we can strengthen the systems we all rely on in the face of evolving threats. For the power sector, the stakes are higher than ever. In 2024, cyberattacks against critical infrastructure surged by 30%, with the U.S. power grid increasingly in the crosshairs. At the same time, ransomware complaints impacting critical infrastructure rose 9% from 2023 to 2024, with nearly half involving sectors such as energy and utilities.| EPSA
Artificial intelligence is changing the world of software even faster than its many proponents predicted.

The digital-first economy has enabled businesses to grow faster and operate globally. However, this transformation also comes with new risks. Cybercriminals are no longer limited to basic malware or phishing campaigns. Instead, they now use advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and multi-stage attacks to exploit vulnerabilities across industries. The rise of AI-driven […] The post Smarter Security Frameworks Defending Businesses Against Evolving Risks appeared fir...| Business Computing World
Cyber threats are no longer rare incidents but ongoing risks for every business.

The management of a large number of connected devices, IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, and other connected assets inside enterprises present some interesting connectivity challenges that we must consider today.

How do cyber vulnerabilities impact modern warfare and statecraft? Craig Booth argues that the effectiveness of coercion, which relies on both the power to impose costs and the credibility of the threat, is weakened by vulnerabilities in digital and networked weapon systems. He joins host Darrell Driver to discuss how if an adversary believes they can hack, jam, or hijack U.S. capabilities, the ability to project power and influence their behavior diminishes. Booth notes that cyber risk is no...| A Better Peace: The War Room Podcast

In the world of cybersecurity, the term Security Operations Center (SOC) carries significant weight. It evokes images of highly skilled analysts working around the clock to detect, respond to, and mitigate cyber threats. However, not all SOCs live up to this expectation. If a SOC lacks core functions like triage, analysis, assessment, and remedial action, it’s not truly a SOC—it’s merely a contact center masquerading as one. Let’s explore why these functions are non-negotiable for a...| PwnDefend

There are lots of calls to invest in improving cybersecurity. But it struck me that it doesn’t work like that. Not getting hacked is not so much a question of buying the right stuff.

You can even supply them with the money to do so.| Bert Hubert's writings
