🔰 Steps to protect OT networks that have been infiltrated by remote access Trojans 💻
Industrial and infrastructure operational technology (OT) networks are under attack. Infrastructure businesses include electrical power grids, gas supplies, water and sanitation and food delivery logistics.
The attacks to infrastructure come from two different groups.
â–ª Cyber criminals seek to disrupt manufacturing or infrastructure processes for financial gain through blackmail and extortion. The business is aware of the attack as soon as the disruption occurs.
â–ª State sponsored hackers target infrastructure businesses by installing software viruses called remote access Trojans with the objective of disrupting the operation of the business or sabotage at some time in the future. The attack might be on the order of a dictator who is seeking some military advantage. Infrastructure in the USA and EU has already been infiltrated with this type of attack; many infrastructure OT networks already have remote access Trojans installed.
Manufacturing and infrastructure OT systems have in most cases, weak cybersecurity protection. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and other US and EU government agencies has been warning infrastructure businesses about potential attacks and advising these businesses to improve cybersecurity by requiring stronger access authentication processes.
💻 Unfortunately, OT networks have been infiltrated with remote access Trojans, that bypass inbound authentication; the communication is outbound to the cyber criminal group. In many cases it is too late to block an attack with improved authentication processes.
🔥 Infrastructure industry OT networks require upgrading with a firewall that allows only specified inbound and outbound IP addresses.

🎣 Phishing attacks are on the rise! 📈
Phishing attacks are getting more common these days and it's very sad to see businesses suffering from these malicious extortion attacks.
💻 If you own or manage a business and you are using Internet to operate your business, you are at risk of a cyber attack.
Do you have a firewall? Great, it will protect you from some types of malware but it will NOT stop a phishing attack or password theft.
Smaller businesses are getting attacked now more than the bigger businesses! Why? Because smaller businesses are not aware of the dangers or do not have the budget to invest in cybersecurity protection, while big businesses with IT departments make cybersecurity investments a priority.
🤔 Some businesses believe that a firewall is sufficient, but unfortunately, it isn't. A firewall stops brute force attacks but does not stop PHISHING and PASSWORD theft.
NOW there is a solution!
