Enhancing Water and Wastewater Treatment Cybersecurity Against Nation-State APT Threats

Richard Robinson/CEO Cynalytica Inc.August 15, 2024 As threats to critical infrastructure grow, the importance of Wastewater Cybersecurity cannot be overstated. The Growing Threat from Nation-State APTs Nation-state APT groups, such as the Iranian Cyber Av3ngers are increasingly targeting Industrial Control Systems (ICS) integral to water and wastewater treatment facilities. These groups have the capability to […]

Strengthening OT Security: Nozomi Networks and Cynalytica Unite to Protect Operational Technologies

Securing operational technologies (OT) has become increasingly crucial in today’s interconnected world. I am excited to announce that Nozomi Networks and Cynalytica have joined forces to deliver a groundbreaking solution that extends visibility, situational awareness, and threat detection across operational technologies. This partnership now offers the unique capability to monitor both IP and non-IP based ICS/SCADA and OT communications.

Analysis of The Environmental Protection Agency’s Memorandum on “Addressing PWS Cybersecurity in Sanitary Surveys or an Alternate Process”

The Environmental Protection Agency’s memorandum on “Addressing PWS Cybersecurity in Sanitary Surveys or an Alternate Process” is a “guide” for public water systems (PWS) to evaluate and improve their cybersecurity posture. The memorandum does provide some useful guidance and recommendations for PWS to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks in their operations, including conducting vulnerability assessments, developing incident response plans, and implementing cybersecurity controls.

OTNetGuard: A Comprehensive Solution for ICS/SCADA Security

supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have led to a surge in cyber threats targeting these critical infrastructure systems. The potential consequences of an attack on ICS/SCADA systems can be devastating, ranging from environmental disasters to large-scale disruptions in essential services. To address these risks, OTNetGuard has developed an innovative ICS/SCADA monitoring sensor that can passively and securely capture analog, serial, and IP ICS/SCADA communications.

Next-Generation Industrial Communication Monitoring for Improved Cybersecurity and Operational Awareness

eration of critical infrastructure facilities such as power grids, water treatment plants, and oil and gas refineries. However, these networks are increasingly becoming targets for cyber-physical attacks. To help asset owners combat this, we have released a new and innovative ICS/SCADA monitoring sensor called OTNetGuard™. OTNetGuard is designed to capture analog, serial, and IP ICS/SCADA communications passively and securely. Combined with Cynalytica’s AnalytICS Engine capabilities to provide ICS communications deep packet inspection, advanced analytics and monitoring it can also easily integrate with third party SIEM and SOAR platforms.
