A third cyber incident in the space of a month should sound the alarm bell for manufacturers

News which broke yesterday of another cyber attack in Europe was the third such high profile incident in less than a month.

It’s is clear then that critical infrastructure organisations face heightened cyber risks as the systems supporting essential services become increasingly digital and interconnected.

That creates huge opportunities to improve how essential services operate, but it also creates more potential routes for disruption.

Two-thirds (66%) of critical infrastructure organisations report an increase in credential theft and misappropriated secrets, which can allow attackers to gain access using apparently legitimate credentials.

Thales in the UK works with critical infrastructure organisations on strengthening the resilience of operational and industrial systems, including through its Cyber Resilience Lab in Ebbw Vale.
