Even with the increased use of Microsoft Teams, Slack, and many other multi-functional messaging services, email remains a critical communication tool for most organizations.  OPSWAT partnered with Osterman Research to conduct a study to analyze email security breaches in critical

In today's interconnected industrial landscape, Operational Technology (OT) environments face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Merely knowing the software running on a network is no longer sufficient for robust OT security. Attackers are shifting their tactics, focusing on long-term infiltration and

To mitigate supply chain attacks, manufacturers can implement several strategies: Demand Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) from vendors:SBOMs provide a list of components within software, similar to an ingredient list. By analyzing the SBOM, manufacturers can identify third-party software and

Legacy Windows systems in Operational Technology (OT) environments present significant security challenges, but factory managers often face obstacles in modernizing these systems. Many OT systems rely on outdated platforms like Windows XP, which may no longer receive updates or support.

A new report highlights the increasing threat of DDoS attacks for businesses across all industries. It emphasizes that while the telecommunications industry remains the most targeted sector, other industries are experiencing significant increases in attack frequency, duration, and size. This

The food manufacturing industry is increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to its complex supply chains, reliance on legacy systems alongside modern technology, and the growing integration of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). While cybersecurity investments may not offer immediate

The state of industries has come a long way since the Industrial Revolution with new technologies such as smart devices, the internet, and the cloud. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a network of industrial components that share and

The convergence of Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized industrial operations, bringing unparalleled efficiency and connectivity. However, this fusion has also created a fertile ground for cyber threats, with sophisticated attackers exploiting every

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting critical industries, with the energy sector and manufacturing being prime targets. Research reveals that the energy grid is especially susceptible to various cyberattacks due to aging infrastructure, complex operations, and the expanding intersection of operational technology
