Insider threats encompass both intentional and unintentional actions. The challenge for organizations is not only to detect and mitigate malicious insider activities but also to cultivate a culture of security awareness and proactive risk management across all levels of the workforce.
Security leaders recognize that the pattern of buying new tech and the frantic state of find-fix vulnerability management is not working, according to Cymulate. Rather than waiting for the next big cyberattack and hoping they have the right defenses in place, security leaders are now more than ever implementing a proactive approach to cybersecurity by taking action to identify and address security gaps before attackers find and exploit them.
"Our Web-Based PLC malware resides in PLC memory, but ultimately gets executed client-side by various browser-equipped devices throughout the ICS environment. From there, the malware uses ambient browser-based credentials to interact with the PLC's legitimate web APIs to attack the underlying real-world machinery," the researchers explained. "While previous attacks on PLCs infect either the control logic or firmware portions of PLC computation, our proposed malware exclusively infects the web application hosted by the emerging embedded webservers within the PLCs," the researchers noted.
In this Help Net Security video, Michelle Alvarez, Strategic Threat Analysis Manager at IBM X-Force, discusses the 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, revealing top threats and trends the team observed last year across its global engagements and how these shifts are forming the threat landscape in 2024 and beyond.

Webinar Dealing with cyber security incidents is an expensive business. Each data breach costs an estimated $4.35 million on average and it's not as if the volume of cyber attacks is falling - last year, they rose by 38 percent according to Google Cloud.
