Cegeka, alongside Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) and KU Leuven, participated in the RSA Conference this week in San Francisco. The Conference is a leading global event focused on cybersecurity. "#Cybersecurity is the fastest-growing branch at Cegeka, with a remarkable 56% increase in just one year," says Fabrice Wynants, Global Director of Cybersecurity & Networking at Cegeka. "This trend will continue, fueled by Belgium's strong foundation and a progressive legislative environment (we're the second in Europe to adopt the #NIS2 directive)."

How are you securing your digital supply chain? "Despite a dramatic rise in software supply chain attacks, security assessments are not performed as a part of vendor risk management or procurement activities. This leaves organizations vulnerable to attacks." - Gartner Predicts 2024: Supply Chain Technology I would like to offer every organziation a risk assessment of your connected devices and digital supply chain analysis with vendor verification checks to ensure the integrity of devices in your enterprise. * Firmware discovery and validation it matches the original manufacturer, also assess for known vulnerabilities and outdated firmware. Each digital component in any x86 hardware and many major network solutions that has firmware is discovered and validated with the original manufacturer. * Patented physical-layer based technology provides holistic visibility of all IT, OT, and IoT assets across an enterprise's network and endpoints, down to their peripherals – even those that lack unique identifiers and are difficult to detect using alternative methods. Get a complete Hardware Build of Materials (BoM) discovery to ensure all devices match the original manufacturer specifications to include validation that there is no digital component inside a device that should not be there.

#inthemeantime You can't patch anything that's not secure by design. Many IoT devices have limited processing power and memory, which can restrict the use of advanced security features like 256-AES encryption for wireless. So also, you are going to patch those devices, which is senseless. Yet they collect data and are connected—and as someone famously said, connected is hacked. Alexandre BLANC Cyber Security Is there no hope then to protect the Industrial IoT ? Of course there is—we from TripleDefense have something better than AES that cannot run on those IIOT devices. Want to know howto outsmart NIS (2) DORA and have quantum-proof supplychain protection? ? Don't patch and wait for vulnerabilities to hatch; protect, since an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cybersecurity monitoring.

Yesterday, the Dutch Intelligence Agency (AIVD) published its annual report via: https://lnkd.in/esnzh-Qy. There is a full section on cyber security (page 32) in there and for folks tracking cyber security developments it’s a worthy read. Some highlights: ·       Threats aimed at digital sabotage are the most dangerous as they will have the biggest impact on our society. Although not explicitly mentioned, I do think Operational Technology (OT) should have been mentioned here 😊; ·       Some actors are targeting vital infrastructure, not for direct action but to have a foothold ‘just in case’; ·       Zero-days are used as part of offensive cyber programs, but also known vulnerabilities are exploited, sometimes even hours after they became known; ·       The AIVD is looking forward to the implementation of the NIS2 as it will increase the resilience of vital industries but also enhances the information position through the notification duty; ·       Mention worthy emerging areas are cloud, the post quantum era in relation to the national crypto strategy (NCS), as well as the impact Artificial Intelligence will have on the cyber spectrum (looking forward for the publication of the verkenning).

"Cybersecurity isn’t sexy—it's hard work" In his recent interview with Samen Digitaal Veilig, Marcel Van Oirschot discusses why cybersecurity often takes a backseat - "It’s a challenge to make #cybersecurity both important and urgent. Often, it's pushed aside for other priorities, but once you’re #hacked, it’s too late". Getting cybersecurity right takes hard work and involves focusing on essential basics like network segmentation, backups, and software updates, rather than chasing the latest tech trends.
