Cyber Defense eMagazine March Edition for 2022

The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in DC, London, FL, NY and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings site being revamped); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

3 <strong>Cyber</strong>security Certainties <strong>for</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />

By Bill Moore, XONA<br />

As businesses transitioned to hybrid work models in 2021, critical integrations between IT and OT<br />

technologies introduced new vulnerabilities that threat actors exploited with shocking frequency and<br />

effectiveness.<br />

This was especially true <strong>for</strong> manufacturers, energy producers, and utilities, which increasingly rely on<br />

remote operations capacity to empower distributed teams to engage physical infrastructure from<br />

anywhere in the world. As a result, many organizations experienced an ICS/OT cybersecurity incident in<br />

the past year, costing companies millions of dollars in recovery and opportunity costs.<br />

With everything from ransomware attacks to data breaches becoming more prevalent and impactful, it’s<br />

even more important that those charged with protecting critical infrastructure enhance their defensive<br />

postures to meet the moment. As they reflect on their cyber readiness and plan <strong>for</strong> the year ahead, here<br />

are three cybersecurity certainties that should guide their decision-making processes.<br />
