You Need Cyber Deception for OT
OPINION There are three statements that sum up the frustrating reality for defenders responding to a cyberattack on operational technology (OT) systems: The attack data is not there. There is no trail to follow. There is no history to sort through. While these dynamics will always be true for OT, defenders are getting help from cyber deception as it matures beyond honeypots to a more sophisticated, proactive cyber-defense tool. To illustrate the problem, let's go back in time.
Governance as Strategy: Giving CEOs answers to big cybersecurity questions
Cybersecurity protection is a C-suite issue that is so fast-changing and technical, it’s hard for CEOs to properly manage. Without a larger framework, CISOs don’t have ready answers to the CEO’s biggest questions, which include: Are we spending too much/too little on cybersecurity? Are we investing in the right places? How do cybersecurity costs impact the bottom line? Are we even remotely secure?
Why PEN Testing Delivers Greater Value With Cyber Deception
Annual penetration testing (PEN test) is a critical component of any organization’s robust cybersecurity strategy. PEN testing is important because it is designed to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Penetration testing allows defenders to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. The effort required to remediate these issues often represents a significant portion of an IT team’s annual budget and workload.
Missoula’s Income Disparity and Housing Troubles
The issues facing working class Montanans seem daunting – struggling to afford a basic middle class life with historically low wages and soaring housing costs. It’s an issue seen across the country where nearly 43 percent of households don’t earn enough to afford their monthly budget of food, rent, child care, health care and bills. In the microcosm of a city like Missoula, it’s even more apparent. There is a growing disparity between those who own a home and those who rent.
Entrepreneurship in Montana
Montana has a strong entrepreneurial spirit. The state has more entrepreneurs per capita than any other state and a business survival rate (businesses that survive their first five years) that ranks in the top 10. Some 3,400 Montanans start a new business each month, and more than half of those startups are still open five years later. To put it simply, Montana is among the nation’s leaders in entrepreneurship.
