The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has alerted of two security flaws impacting Rockwell Automation ControlLogix EtherNet/IP communication module models that could be exploited to achieve remote code execution and denial-of-service. "The results and impact of exploiting these vulnerabilities vary depending on the ControlLogix system configuration, but they could lead to denial or loss of control, denial or loss of view, theft of operational data, or manipulation of control for disruptive or destructive consequences on the industrial process for which the ControlLogix system is responsible," Draogos said.
Streamlining the audit process is not the only benefit of compliance automation. At the same time, automation improves your compliance and security posture as well as the productivity of your compliance program.
Toward that end, the CIS Critical Security Controls team spoke with our users and volunteers as well as looked at our goals for the future of the CIS Controls. In this article, we identify the changes that we made and explain how they support an automated future for the CIS Controls.
Imagine if all you needed to do to turn a security policy into an enforced workflow was type it out as a prompt.... Modern security teams have witnessed many generations of solutions that make it easier to automate security workflows across tools, from manual scripting, to Security, Automation, Orchestration, and Response tools, to low-code/no-code platforms. Now, the next generation of security automation tooling is here and it's powered by generative AI. How Generative AI Unlocks No-Code Automation for Security.
For companies today, the need to maintain and enhance levels of audit and compliance against the backdrop of an ever-worsening cyber security threat landscape has become more pressing than ever before. Security and compliance breaches can cause operational disruption, lost revenue, customer dissatisfaction, and lead to potentially catastrophic legal or regulatory actions, according to a new white paper published by compliance automation specialist Drata.
In several high-profile incidents, application programming interfaces emerged as a primary attack vector, posing a new and significant threat to organizations' security posture, according to Cequence Security. "As attack automation becomes an increasingly prevalent threat against APIs, it's critical that organizations have the tools, knowledge and expertise to defend against them in real- time," Talwalkar added.

Data backups get a lot of attention, but sadly, sometimes, the operational work that keeps networks secure - like device backups, upgrades, and configuration grooming - goes undone. Recent high-profile network outages have brought attention to the importance of not just automating improvements in network security and operations but recovering quickly and minimizing downtime when disaster strikes.
92% of network security and operations pros say there are more network updates needed than they can keep up with. While 61% of companies only upgrade network and security devices quarterly or less frequently, 48% of survey respondents say their company has not implemented or invested deeply in network automation, opening them up to security breaches and other serious issues.
