Industry 4.0 puts capabilities like interoperability, data transparency, and autonomous cyber systems into the service of industrial operations. The trend relates to cyber-physical systems, cloud computing and, the most pervasive of them all – the Internet of Things. Its openness, self-directed and interconnected nature creates new security challenges. Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions can play a key role in reducing the risk.
Security teams already equipped with SIEM and IDS can go further with Privileged Access Management (PAM), a state of the art security tool that enables auditable logs of administrative sessions.
Complexity is the enemy of cybersecurity. Yet, it can’t be avoided. Even a relatively small organization will have multiple people operating and administering multiple IT assets while fending off multiple threats. Any problem is basically a problem cubed. How do you keep things secure in that environment?
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are used to remotely control and monitor a variety of industrial enterprises like manufacturing, electricity, water, oil, and gas. The systems operate mostly on remote commands that are pushed to physical stations and devices. These systems are crucial in controlling and monitoring operations to ensure ongoing operations and safety for the surrounding community.
The threat of cyber espionage used to primarily be the domain of defense officials and writers of pulp fiction. No more.
