We Can Expect New Attack Sources, Techniques and Protection Responses
from Operators

NEW YORK (BUSINESS WIRE) lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/ICS?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#ICSlt;/agt; Indegy , a leader in industrial

cyber security, today announced it has published its ICS security

predictions for 2019 on threats facing critical infrastructure, energy

providers and utilities, manufacturing and more, in a new blog post here .

Indegy Publishes Industrial Cyber Security Predictions for 2019

“In many ways, 2018 represented the coming of age for industrial cyber

security. The old adage that operational technology networks are

isolated from threats by an air gap was recognized for what it is, a

fallacy in an era of interconnectedness and IIoT technologies,” said

Mille Gandelsman, CTO of Indegy. “Over the next 12 months, we can expect

both adversaries and their methods to evolve. On the plus side, we can

expect both operators and the security industry to make new OT-specific

advances in protection techniques.”

Summary of 2019 Predictions

Some of the highlights covered

in Indegy’s 2019 industrial cyber security predictions blog include:

Lone wolf and non-nation state adversaries will emerge, as the barrier
for launching operational technology attacks will drop and open the
door to the general hacking community Expect multi-pronged attacks that target several locations
simultaneously or in close succession Operators will extend passive security monitoring with decades-old IT
security techniques of active querying for deeper visibility into
threats than simply listening to network traffic Threat intelligence sharing initiatives commonly used in IT security
will emerge for operational technologies and environments New ICS-specific security standards, best practices and playbooks will
be introduced
