Top 10 Cyber Attacks of 2024 on Critical Infrastructure & more

As 2024 comes to a close we're exploring what we can learn from the year behind us and what we can expect for the year ahead when it comes to OT and ICS security. In an all new webinar on Wednesday, December 18th we are diving in to 2024’s 10 most important cyber incidents that targeted physical operations – in both critical infrastructure and heavy industry.

Tomorrow (November 27) I am hosting a webinar to discuss common themes in the OT cyber security guidance published around the world in recent years... as well as share some predictions. By the time you reading this the recording may be available.

Additionally, Waterfall Security Solutions announced a new partnership with GoCloud, with the Port of Miami as our first joint customer using Waterfall to protect against embedded threats. A new podcast explores protecting OT cloud systems and translating the CCE to Japanese.

On the blog, we cover Ireland’s impressive nine-page OT security guidance. And our latest eBook on applying IEC 62443 for power generation is now available

I hope you find this material interesting and useful.

Until next time,

Andrew Ginter, VP Industrial Security, Waterfall Security Solutions
