Negative Consequences: Don't Ignore the most overlooked attack vector or your protection.
Whether your business is oil and gas, electrical, chemical, pharmaceutical, healthcare or financial, one of the most overlooked and easiest attack vectors for business disruption and intellectual property theft is both the endpoint (Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet) and critical elements of Industrial Controls (like PLCs, SCADA and other elements).
The world is recognizing that endpoint and embedded alert and protection solutions are woefully inadequate. As new devices come ‘online' the challenges of device type, version control, patching, access rights become huge holes for attackers. Many IT personnel are giving up on the endpoint security due to its low efficacy.
However new, proactive protection approaches are supplanting traditional models. These include math and machine learning, virtualization and containerization. The key is to understand what can actually detect advanced threats and take action to block them from ever initiating. Cylance has produced a game changing approach to detecting and preventing advanced threats.
