Tune in to understand where attacks are coming from, their top targets, vulnerabilities they exploit, what attackers do after initial access, the most common type of malware dropped, trends in malware evolution, and forecasts for the future.

Most importantly, learn strategies and actions that you can take to prepare for this evolving threat landscape.

2022 Threat Roundup – The Emergence of Mixed IT/IoT Threats

Threat detection and response has become increasingly important, and increasingly difficult, even for seasoned and large SOC teams. Current approaches, including traditional extended detection and response (XDR) solutions, don’t adequately convert the mountain of daily alerts into high-fidelity detections of true threats, nor do they enable SOC teams to automate response processes across the extended enterprise (IT, OT, IoT, IoMT). 

Forescout XDR, combined with other Forescout solutions, uniquely addresses these challenges. In this 30-minute webinar, you will: 

◾Learn how to truly extend detection to every managed and unmanaged connected device across your enterprise 

◾Discover how advanced data science enables 450x better detection 

◾See how you can better respond to threats through real-time control of your network and devices

◾Explore key use cases for improved SOC efficiency, risk reduction, and enhanced visibility  

Speakers: Justin Foster, Chief Technology Officer; Virendra Bisht, Director of Data Science; George McTaggart, Chief Marketing Officer

Threat Intelligence: 5 Cyber Attacks to Watch for

Several events in 2022 shaped the current threat landscape for critical infrastructure, such as the OT:ICEFALL vulnerabilities highlighting how insecurity by design affects critical devices, new OT/ICS-specific malware showing state-sponsored actors' inclination to cause cyber-physical damage via this insecurity, ransomware groups attacking critical infrastructure for financial gain, and several hacktivists attacking unmanaged devices for their own political agenda. 

We expect this threat landscape to continue expanding in 2023, with even more attacks on critical infrastructure, state-sponsored actors expanding their arsenal with new sophisticated malware, ransomware groups diversifying their extortion campaigns, and more hacktivists adopting OT as a target to spread their message.  

How is this all relevant for asset owners? Tune in to understand: 

• What does the current threat landscape for critical infrastructure look like and what could change in 2023 

• Strategies and actions that asset owners should take to prepare for this evolving threat landscape

An Innovative Approach to Connected Device Risk Management

In manufacturing and critical infrastructure networks, the risks stemming from the increased use of Industrial IoT devices for process measurements and control and the connectivity of OT and IT systems for efficiency and automation makes critical process networks more exposed. Without proper visibility into OT networks and devices, it is impossible for OT organizations to determine the extent and impact of a breach on the IT network to critical processes, and may cause preventive and very costly shutdowns like in the case of Colonial pipelines. 

The recent OT:ICEFALL report demonstrates that attackers don’t even need to rely on zero-day vulnerabilities to compromise IoT/BAS/OT devices, they can simply rely on their “insecurity by design”. These devices need an increased level of visibility and monitoring, to ensure they remain secure and potential intrusions do not impact business and operational continuity. 

  

In this webinar, Daniel Trivellato, Forescout VP Product and Engineering, analyzes the risks posed by these exposed and unmanaged devices connected to your critical processes.  

Find out:   

 - Which devices may be a threat to your operational continuity 

 - How Forescout can help you reduce operational and security risks in IoT/BAS or OT/ICS environments

Building Cyber Resiliency for Your OT Network

The growth and exposure of IoT devices and their connectivity with Building Automation Systems (BAS) devices offer attackers alternative ways to compromise business continuity for a financial institution: attackers do not need to reach and compromise critical servers directly, they can exploit IoT/BAS to compromise the infrastructure around them, by e.g. shutting down power or cooling of server rooms; they can compromise physical access control systems to gain unauthorized to buildings or rooms, or to prevent authorized personnel from accessing them; or they can disrupt HVAC or elevator systems on a hot day causing health and safety concerns.

Threat Intelligence and Hunting Nation-State Actors and Threats

Forescout's Vedere Labs announced on June 21 the disclosure of "OT:ICEFALL": 56 vulnerabilities related to insecure-by-design functions affecting devices from 10 major operational technology (OT) manufacturers.
 
Exploiting these vulnerabilities, attackers with network access to a target device could remotely execute code, change the logic, files or firmware of OT devices, bypass authentication, compromise credentials, cause denials of service or have a variety of operational impacts.
 
The products affected by OT:ICEFALL are known to be prevalent in industries that are the backbone of critical infrastructures such as oil and gas, power generation and distribution, manufacturing, water treatment and distribution, and building automation. Many of these products are sold as 'secure by design' or have been certified with OT security standards.
 
Tune in to understand:
• Why the lack of basic security controls, which has been exploited in the past by real-world malware, is the biggest issue facing OT security
• The impact of OT:ICEFALL on OT certification, risk management, supply chains, and offensive capabilities
• Strategies and actions that asset owners should take to mitigate risk

Ransomware is now the biggest cybersecurity threat. More than 80% of cyber incidents have financial motivation. Forescout’s Vedere Labs released a comprehensive report that includes a detailed playbook describing how organizations can protect themselves against a new type of ransomware that exploits IoT devices, such as video cameras, to deploy ransomware.   
 
The next-generation ransomware described in the R4IoT report uses exposed vulnerable devices, such as an IP video camera or network-attached storage (NAS) device, as the initial access point to the network. It then holds OT devices hostage, thus adding another layer of extortion to an attack campaign. This new attack vector that Vedere Labs predicts will be the next step in ransomware evolution, which will impact all IoT (including IoMT), IT, and OT devices, causing physical disruption of business operations.
 
Tune in to learn about:
• How a combined IoT/OT ransomware might work
• How this next-generation ransomware would disrupt and impact your organization 
• Detailed mitigation steps by TTP and how Forescout can help
• Vulnerable IoT and OT assets being actively exploited and how to prioritize their protection
