Overview In the last three months, the Oil and Gas industry has been targeted across the globe like never before. Attacks on both upstream and downstream. To put things in perspective, according to Sectrio’s threat research team, the number of sophisticated threats on upstream infrastructure between March and June 2020 rose by as much as 43 percent. .

Why you should read this? Critical infrastructure linked to the oil and gas industry have become increasingly vulnerable to cyber risks as digitization and lax security measures heighten the possibility of a major disruption. In a report published in November, 2018, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said malware, ransomware, phishing, and botnets are enabling new forms of cyber crime including sabotage, industrial espionage, and ransom that could force the shutdown of major energy facilities.

Why you should read this? The automobile industry is poised for its first technological revolution. Unlike any previous automotive advancement, connected car technology will soon change the very purpose of the vehicle. Rather than merely taking us from Point A to Point B, vehicles will now be capable of ordering our meals and paying for them, scheduling their own repairs at the service center, and even communicating with IoT-enabled devices within our homes.

Why you should read this? A study released in August last year on cybersecurity aspects of smart cities painted a grim picture. The study claimed it was exceptionally easy for hackers to hack into environmental sensors, traffic management systems and other smart systems to create confusion, chaos and loss of revenue and productivity on smart city projects.

Why you should read this? The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to be the next revolution after the internet itself and is increasingly becoming a part of our lives. As the number of connected things are increasing every day, so is the threat level on these devices. Like any new domain, the technological challenges remain whilst new policies and standards are emerging. Sectrio has been the world leader in security and fraud management solutions for telecom operators over the years and is now actively working in the IoT Security domain. This paper provides an overview of IoT security, challenges to IoT security in 2022, and Sectrio’s approach to address them. Download the Whitepaper to know more.

Overview Institutions and organizations that are on the front-line in battling the pandemic and beyond are under pressure from multiple fronts. On the one hand, they have to handle cases while ensuring the delivery of optimal patient care routines, on the other they have to also battle enemies lurking in cyberspace. Obsolete medical tech, poor cyber hygiene, and lack of understanding of the signi_cance of cyber threats are just some of the challenges that healthcare organizations are currently facing. As the industry embraces new tech norms and working paradigms, cybersecurity will become an even bigger game-changer in deciding the success of the whole healthcare ecosystem than it is today. What can be done to secure healthcare institutions and protect their assets, data and infrastructure? This whitepaper offers some answers.

Overview The risk of a major breach causing damage to infrastructure and loss of data is more than ever before. Disruptive actors working with sophisticated tools, strategies, and attrition tactics are acting with persistence and diligence to target utility companies. Attacks are targeted at the operational technologies, converged digital environments based on IT, IOT and OT. If hackers find their way into operational tech successfully, the impact could range from holding a key data hostage using ransomware to hackers disabling major safeguard controls on a plant to cause a catastrophic accident including reactor meltdown in case of a nuclear plant. What can be done to secure utility infrastructure and how can hackers be kept at bay, this whitepaper explores and explains.

Overview How has the Covid-19 induced ‘New Normal’ changed cybersecurity practices in the manufacturing sector? What steps can be taken to protect the assets, data, infrastructure, and people connected with industry 4.0? This whitepaper from Sectrio presents the answers while outlining ways in which manufacturing can scale up their cybersecurity measures in a phased manner. Read now.

Why you should read this? As telematics systems integrate with, and evolve into, a larger web of connected devices, privacy and technology Security advocates have started asking questions on the resilience of the system. How can telematics deployments be secure? Download this flyer to explore answers.
