Securing Converged Networks: Navigating the IT-OT Landscape: Why IT and OT are different
In the wake of Honda's recent malware attack, cybersecurity experts warn of the increasing threat to operational technology (OT) and IoT systems. The convergence of IT and OT networks presents new challenges for organizations, with cybercriminals leveraging this interconnectedness to launch ransomware attacks and infiltrate critical infrastructure. Unified security visions across IT and OT are valuable. However, execution often requires unique tools for different environments. . #Iotsecurity #cisa #ipmeter
In the realm of securing critical infrastructure, it's imperative to recognize that while IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) must share the same security goals, they often require different tools and techniques to achieve this vision effectively. This disparity arises from the fundamental differences in the nature of IT and OT systems, their operational priorities, and the unique challenges they face.
IT systems primarily focus on data confidentiality and integrity, prioritizing measures such as encryption and access control to protect sensitive information. In contrast, OT systems prioritize operational continuity and reliability, emphasizing measures like redundancy and fault tolerance to ensure uninterrupted production processes. This fundamental difference in priorities necessitates tailored security approaches that address the specific needs of each domain.
While the overarching security goals of IT and OT may align, the distinct nature of these domains necessitates tailored approaches that accommodate their unique operational requirements, technological constraints, and risk profiles. By recognizing these differences and investing in specialized tools and techniques, organizations can effectively secure both their IT and OT environments and mitigate the evolving cyber threats facing critical infrastructure.

Airbus EFB Hacking Threat: Safeguarding Airplane Safety in the Digital Age!
Don't Miss: Cybersecurity Threat to Airplane Safety Exposed! Learn how a potential risk to aircraft safety was uncovered when an Airbus suite of applications for pilot electronic flight bags (EFB) was hacked. Discover the critical security flaw that could have had severe consequences for airplane operations and passenger safety. Stay informed to protect against cyber threats in aviation and critical infrastructure! #Iotsecurity #CISA #IPMeter #AirplaneSafety #CyberSecurity
I find the recent revelation of the hacking threat to Airbus EFB (electronic flight bag) applications troubling. The potential consequences of such a security breach extend far beyond mere data compromise; they directly impact the safety. The disabling of App Transport Security (ATS) in the Flysmart+ application represents a significant oversight. Did I understand the dates in this article correctly, that the hole was found in June 2022 and not fixed until May 2023. If I count my with my fingers and toes, that is 11 months this was in the wild. I don't know much about the Airbus EFB, but looking at my personal tool- FLYQEFB... it provides runway data, calculates my weight and balance and identifies obstruction heights. That a lotta stuff to rely on.

How the Humble Bolt meets critical cyber infrastructure.
It's concerning that such incidents persist. In our interconnected world, where devices are equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular connections, it's crucial to regularly test them using a vulnerability scanner. As both a mechanic and a pilot, I've admired the state-of-the-art wrench extensively utilized in aerospace and car manufacturing. If precision in bolt tightness is paramount—whether working at Boeing, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Audi, Tesla, or Lucid—routine torque wrench calibration is a norm. For those using network-connected wrenches, particularly for logging purposes, incorporating cyber testing becomes imperative. Despite the recent Door Plug-gate controversy, the act of tightening a simple bolt remains a foundational element in critical infrastructure.
