<b>Cybersecurity</b> in Manufacturing: IT/OT Threats and Defenses | CloudSEK

🚀 Introducing the CloudSEK MCP Server! Read more Cybersecurity in manufacturing is the practice of protecting factories, production lines, and the industrial systems that run them from cyberattacks. It differs from cybersecurity in most other sectors in one decisive way: an attack on a manufacturer does not just expose data, it can stop production, damage equipment, and endanger people. That impact is why manufacturing has become the world's most-attacked industry. According to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, manufacturing accounted for 27.7 percent of all cyberattacks in 2025, the most of any sector and the fifth consecutive year in the top spot. What makes manufacturing cybersecurity distinct is the mix of two worlds: the information technology (IT) systems that run the business and the operational technology (OT) that runs the plant floor. Securing both at once, across legacy machines never built for the internet, is the central challenge. This guide explains why manufacturers are targeted, why cybersecurity for manufacturing matters, how IT and OT differ, the top threats and real incidents that define the field, the frameworks that govern it, and how to secure production. Attackers choose targets by leverage, and manufacturing offers more of it than any other sector. Production cannot pause without immediate financial damage, with unplanned downtime costing manufacturers roughly $260,000 an hour on average, so attackers know a ransomware victim is likely to pay quickly to restore operations. That pressure shows in the numbers: Dragos attributes about 68 percent of all industrial ransomware to manufacturing, and the average manufacturing ransomware incident costs around $8.7 million, most of it from downtime rather than the ransom itself, which makes paying look cheaper than waiting even when it is not. Three structural factors compound the pressure. Manufacturers hold valuable intellectual property, from product designs to proprietary processes, and IBM

CTC cyber range brings real-world <b>cybersecurity</b> training into classroom

Central Texas College is investing in hands-on cybersecurity education with a new $20,000 cyber range that will allow students to attack, defend and analyze computer systems in an environment designed to mirror situations they could encounter in the workforce. The cyber range was purchased with federal funding through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education grant. The funding covered the components needed for the system, while CTC students provided the labor to build the servers that will power the training environment. Shane Curington, professor of computer science at CTC, said the range is intended to move cybersecurity education beyond classroom theory by allowing students to apply their skills against other students. “What we’re doing is we’re installing servers for our cybersecurity cyber range,” Curington said. “We’ll have attackers and defenders, and they’ll be able to try to attack the systems. We’ll have students try to attack the systems, and we’ll have students trying to defend the systems.” The student-built aspect of the project adds another layer of practical experience. Before using the cyber range for simulated attacks and defenses, students gained experience assembling the physical infrastructure behind the system. Once operational, the range will function as a controlled environment where students can practice cybersecurity techniques without targeting outside computer systems. The exercises will follow what the cybersecurity industry commonly calls red-team and blue-team operations. Red teams act as attackers and attempt to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, while blue teams defend the systems, monitor activity and respond to attempted intrusions. Curington compared the concept to the more familiar distinction between black-hat and white-hat hackers but said students will use the red-team and blue-team terminology. Students will not remain on one side. “We’ll switch from attackers to defenders,” Curington said. “Everyone will have a chance to attack. Everyone will have a

AI isn't the biggest <b>cybersecurity</b> problem. People are

Cases of AI escaping the lab, infiltrating other companies and trying to deceive people have all made headlines in recent weeks. And in one case, AI models even worked together to break free from their test environments. Does this mean the machines are taking over? Not quite. AI isn’t the mastermind behind today’s most widespread cyber threats; it’s people who can use AI nefariously – and for nefarious purposes. AI has given bad actors massive power, allowing them to create malicious software, research targets, create convincing schemes and automate attacks at an unprecedented pace. One in four data breaches were driven by AI from February 2025 to March 2026, according to an IBM report. And Americans lost more than $893 million to AI-related scams last year, the FBI says. But experts say real-world threat actors – that is, people – are still the ones pulling the strings. AI agents have only perpetuated existing attack methods, like phishing and malware scams, rather than creating wholly new ones. “It’s the humans that we need to watch out for,” said Oren Etzioni, professor emeritus at the University of Washington and former CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence. “AI is just the tool.” AI going rogue Some recent incidents have shown what AI is capable of in the real world, not just in theory, igniting fears about whether the technology is advancing too quickly. Those breaches also show how unpredictable AI can be when interpreting instructions. OpenAI’s models, for example, were trying to pass a cybersecurity test when they broke out of their test environment and breached another company, even though they weren’t told to do so. Patrick Fussell, global head of adversary simulation at IBM, compared AI to a genie. “You want to ask it a wish, but you have to

The AI safety test is becoming a safety risk | TechCrunch

Over the past few months, AI agents undergoing cybersecurity evaluations have escaped their boundaries, accessed the internet, and, in some cases, hacked into real-world systems. The incidents have involved models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and most recently, Chinese AI lab Moonshot AI, with testing conducted by several different organizations including a cyber evaluation startup called Irregular. The episodes expose a growing problem for the AI industry: As autonomous agents become more capable, the environments designed to safely test their limits are failing to contain them. “The number of these incidents that have taken place make clear that sandboxing and testing environment controls aren’t really keeping pace with the capability of the models,” Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh, director of the AI: Futures and Responsibility Programme at the Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, told TechCrunch. The nature of the models being tested adds to the risk. AI companies test cyber evaluations on unreleased, next-gen models, often with the normal safeguards that restrict malicious behavior disabled so researchers can see what the models are really capable of. That means the security of the testing environment itself is a crucial line of defense. “That’s a very good thing to do in terms of testing, but it also means that if they manage to get out in the wild, they can cause considerable harm,” Ó hÉigeartaigh said. In one of the most serious cases, an unreleased OpenAI model broke out of its sandbox and hacked into Hugging Face’s production systems. In separate evaluations conducted by Irregular, Anthropic and Meta models reached systems outside their test environments after misconfigurations inadvertently gave them paths to the internet. Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 also took advantage of a leak in its sandbox run by Frontier Security to access the internet and accessed information on

Bipartisan Bill Seeks $250 Million to Bolster Utility <b>Cybersecurity</b>

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced legislation Friday that would authorize $250 million over five years to extend a federal cybersecurity program for rural electric cooperatives and municipal utilities through 2031, targeting security gaps among smaller operators of the nation’s power grid. The Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act, sponsored by Sens. Dave McCormick, R-PA, John Hickenlooper, D-CO, John Hoeven, R-ND, John Curtis, R-UT, and Catherine Cortez Masto, D-NV, would reauthorize the Department of Energy’s Rural and Municipal Utility Advanced Cybersecurity Grant and Technical Assistance Program. The program provides grants and technical assistance to rural electric cooperatives and publicly owned utilities to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from cyberattacks. The legislation would also support cybersecurity planning, workforce development and vulnerability assessments. Smaller utilities can face resource constraints that limit their ability to defend against increasingly sophisticated attacks on energy infrastructure, according to information accompanying the legislation. “America’s electric grid is a critical piece of our national security, and every utility—regardless of size or location—must have the resources to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats,” McCormick said. The Pennsylvania Republican argued that rural cooperatives and municipal utilities serving communities in his state and elsewhere frequently operate with fewer cybersecurity resources than larger utilities. The Senate measure is a companion to bipartisan legislation that unanimously passed the House earlier this year. The existing program was established under the bipartisan infrastructure law. Cortez Masto, who helped create it, argued that continued federal support is needed as cybersecurity threats evolve. “This program has proven incredibly successful and there is bipartisan support to reauthorize it,” Cortez Masto said. The legislation has support from organizations representing public power providers and electric cooperatives, including the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association and Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Pennsylvania Municipal Electric Association, American Public Power Association and

OpenAI pauses Astra AI Model over critical <b>cybersecurity</b> concerns

- Industry - 2 min read OpenAI pauses Astra AI Model over critical cybersecurity concerns The company halted work after internal tests flagged potential “critical cyber capabilities,” including risks around autonomous exploitation of vulnerabilities. OpenAI has paused work on its upcoming AI model Astra after internal evaluations showed potentially dangerous advances in agentic coding and cybersecurity, with the company unable to rule out that the system could possess "critical cyber capabilities." The company said its latest evaluations found "significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity," as per Mac Rumours. Under OpenAI's Preparedness Framework, the potential development of such capabilities triggers stricter safeguards, particularly when models could create risks of severe harm. OpenAI said it is "pausing" activities involving Astra while it strengthens its security controls. The company's cybersecurity guidelines call for additional protections for models that "create new risks of scaled cyberattacks and vulnerability exploitation." The "Critical" threshold described in the framework involves the ability to identify and develop functional zero-day exploits across severity levels in many hardened, real-world critical systems without human intervention. It also includes the ability to devise and execute end-to-end novel strategies for cyberattacks. Before Astra can be deployed, OpenAI plans to introduce additional safeguards and security measures. These include restricting work on the model until the new protections are implemented, using isolated testing environments with limited network and tool access, adding sandboxed execution and expanding monitoring capabilities. OpenAI also said it will work with relevant government agencies and AI safety organisations to test Astra. "We're committed to working alongside governments, safety institutes, and civil society to ensure that the frontier capabilities of models like Astra, and those that follow, are deployed responsibly and broadly for the benefit of all humanity," writes OpenAI. Astra has not been formally announced. However, OpenAI recently shared details about its

Athol officials say local water remains secure amid rising threats

Overview: Federal authorities have reported that municipal water systems in up to 12 states faced recent cyberattacks, though no disruptions occurred in Massachusetts. Athol Public Works Director Paul Raskevitz stated the town remains secure following a $40,000 state grant used to upgrade cybersecurity systems and hardware. ATHOL – Federal authorities say municipal water systems in as many as a dozen states have been the targets of cyberattacks in recent weeks. As of July 30, the FBI confirmed attacks in at least seven states, with reports in recent days indicating the number may be up to 12. Thus far, no communities in Massachusetts have reported disruptions. Athol Public Works Director Paul Raskevitz said that Athol residents have nothing to worry about. Within the last year, he said, the town had received a $40,000 grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to update cybersecurity for the town’s water system. “And then we participated in a cybersecurity checkup for our water system through the DEP and the federal EPA (Environmental Protection Agency),” he added. “As with everybody involved in public service and public safety, we try to be as proactive as we can be and try to capitalize on any and all grants available through the DEP and EPA,” Raskevitz said. “With the grant, we were able to upgrade some of our SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. Everybody the water and sewer ‘business’ use SCADA controls, and so were able to upgrade both our software and our hardware.” According to an announcement issued July 30 from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, an increase in cyber threat actors targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the water and wastewater systems has been observed. Infrastructure owners, operators, and integrators are urged to remove publicly exposed PLCs and other operational technology from

The World's Leading AI Companies Struggle to Contain Latest Models

The most powerful AI models keep going awry, according to the companies building them. The disclosures come as frontier AI models get more powerful and more capable of acting autonomously. They also highlight a growing challenge for the companies building them —the systems designed to test increasingly capable models can have weaknesses of their own. Over the past few weeks, multiple frontier AI models have accessed real systems during cybersecurity testing. Researchers on Friday said China's popular new Kimi K3 model, made by Moonshot AI, circumvented restrictions in its test environment. Anthropic and Meta also said recently that their own latest models have done things they aren't supposed to. OpenAI kicked it all off last month when its models went to great — and worrisome — lengths to hack into another company. Amid heightened concern, OpenAI said Friday that its as-yet-unreleased model, Astra, is demonstrating cyber capabilities so advanced that the company can no longer rule out assigning it the highest-risk designation. As a result, OpenAI said it is pausing work on Astra that doesn't meet new safeguards, and said it will work with government agencies and AI safety groups to further test the model. "astra is a powerful model and we are working to make it generally available," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote on X on Friday. "given its cyber capabilities, we need a little big longer to do do this safely." The security lapses during testing are also amping up pressure on the industry and the White House to find ways to regulate AI systems across the board. There is, of course, also a not small contingent of observers out there who suspect these announcements are just elaborate marketing to hype new models and show antsy investors progress toward the ultimate goal: artificial general intelligence. You can judge

Innovation or Negligence? What Recent AI Hacks Mean for the Future of <b>Cybersecurity</b>

Question one: What is wrong with a person or a group saying: “Oops, I hacked into your system(s) by mistake?” Second question: Does your answer to question one change if an AI agent or some other AI tool does the hacking rather than a person or group? Why or why not? Final question: Do recent announcements about Anthropic and OpenAI agents hacking other companies because the company was unable to stop the incident from happening make you (pick one): 1) Trust the company less and/or question their corporate ethics. - OR - 2) Make you more impressed with the amazing capabilities built into their new AI models/agents. Our answers to these questions may very well determine the future course of AI rollouts and agentic AI use over the next few years — especially in global cybersecurity industry. BACKING UP — EXAMPLES PLEASE? But before I explain why these questions are so vital, I want to share some relevant headlines from the past few weeks: CNN: AI agents fake identities, target real people in new security incident “Anthropic’s most advanced artificial intelligence model used fake identities to deceive real people and try to plant malicious code during testing by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI) –– the latest example of an AI model going rogue. “Anthropic and OpenAI models were tested with lowered security guardrails in lab environments, but, in a first, were found to engage in “social engineering” to pressure a human approver while carrying out an unsanctioned task, the government research lab said. “This is the first time AISI has seen deception of this severity that was targeted at a real person, unprompted, in the real world,” the institute said Tuesday. There has been no evidence of real-world harm, it added. … “Among the 122 cybersecurity challenges the institute ran,

How Hackers Target US Water Utilities With Cyberattacks, Explained

Government officials are warning about a wave of cyberattacks on water utilities in the US. At least seven states have reported incidents to the FBI since July 27. The agency hasn't identified the attackers' motivation or identity, calling them only "malicious cyber actors" and saying they were remotely accessing internet-facing computers used by water utilities. The hackers changed settings, IP addresses, and passwords, the FBI said. In some cases, the attacks weakened the plant operators' ability to monitor and control their equipment. Cybersecurity experts have voiced concerns for years about cyber vulnerabilities in water systems and other critical infrastructure, such as energy and healthcare, including the possibility of attacks by foreign adversaries. In April, the FBI and other federal agencies warned about ongoing Iran-affiliated cyber threats, including those targeting water systems. What a hacker can actually do when they access a water system varies widely depending on the device they hack. There's also a huge variety in how the roughly 148,000 public drinking water systems in the US operate, including the about 50,000 systems that supply drinking water to residents year-round. "It really depends on the device and what that device is managing or controlling," Kevin Morley, federal relations manager for the American Water Works Association, told Business Insider. "It could be a pump, it could be a motor, and it could be something as simple as a tank-level log that just says the tank is full or not full." Some of the recent attacks have resulted in real-world impacts, such as loss of water pressure and flooding, according to the FBI, though the agency did not say where those incidents occurred. City officials in Braham, Minnesota, said a cyberattack shut down the controls for its well and water treatment plant, temporarily causing the city to rely on its water

OpenAI Slows Astra AI Model Development After <b>Cybersecurity</b> Warning

By David Antonov, consultant in AI technology. Eurasia Business News, August 8, 2026. Article n°3065. OpenAI has slowed parts of the development of its upcoming Astra AI model after internal testing indicated that the system may possess advanced cybersecurity capabilities. The company said it cannot rule out that Astra has reached the “Critical” level under its Preparedness Framework, triggering stronger security measures and a pause on internal work that does not meet the new standards. The move is significant because it shows a leading AI developer deliberately slowing progress on a frontier model before release rather than addressing risks only after deployment. Astra remains unreleased, and OpenAI has not provided a launch date. Why OpenAI Is Slowing Astra Development OpenAI said recent evaluations of Astra found substantial advances in agentic coding and cybersecurity-related performance. Agentic coding refers to an AI system’s ability to pursue multi-step tasks with relative autonomy, such as writing code, running tools, analysing outcomes and revising its approach. In a cybersecurity setting, stronger agentic capabilities can be beneficial. They may help defenders identify software flaws, automate incident response, analyse malicious code and improve the security of critical systems. But the same capabilities can pose serious risks if an AI model can independently discover vulnerabilities, build exploit code or conduct complex attacks against protected targets. OpenAI’s assessment does not state definitively that Astra has crossed the Critical threshold. Instead, the company says preliminary testing is sufficiently concerning that it cannot rule out the possibility. Under its framework, that uncertainty alone requires it to treat the model with heightened caution. The decision reportedly pauses internal Astra activities that have not yet met strengthened security requirements. It does not mean that all research on Astra has stopped, nor does it indicate that the model has been cancelled. Instead, OpenAI is

AI Agents Have Hit a Tipping Point: Taking Access Without Permission

As each week goes by, it’s becoming more clear that cyberattacks no longer need a human hacker. Not when a machine can do the heavy lifting. In July, an OpenAI agent identified a zero-day flaw in a package registry proxy, escalated its own privileges, moved laterally across OpenAI’s internal network, then exited its testing environment to help itself to production systems at Hugging Face and other companies. Its motive? Stealing an answer key for a test. The model inferred (correctly, as it turned out) that Hugging Face held the data it needed, and it went and got it, chaining a sandbox escape, a zero-day exploit, credential theft and data exfiltration into a single sequence. No human programmed the agent this way; it went rogue. While the technology world at large was stunned by the agent’s self-guided sophistication, cybersecurity experts saw this as the inevitable consequence of agentic AI evolution. And although the issue was contained in quick fashion, it raises a bigger question: What does this mean for application environments that manage and store sensitive information for enterprises? What does this mean for SAP systems? SAP comprises the lifeblood of enterprises’ financial data, supply chain logic, HR records and the operational backbone of the business. And like any other system hosting massive volumes of transactional data, it’s a target-rich environment. And cyberattackers have certainly enjoyed their share of SAP exploits, according to various reports. When Attack Timelines Ramp from Human to Machine Speed Exploiting a known vulnerability is one thing. Identifying and infiltrating one at the speed of code is another. For corporate defenders, the traditional attack timeline assumes a familiar form. An intruder finds a hole, then spends days or weeks assessing the environment. This includes mapping which systems talk to which and where the valuable data sits, as

Northern California city declares emergency after malware disrupts 911, public safety systems

Northern California city declares emergency after malware disrupts 911, public safety systems A Northern California city declared a state of emergency Saturday after malware disrupted 911 routing, police and fire dispatch and other critical city systems. Suisun City officials said the cybersecurity incident began around 5:45 a.m. Friday. The city shut down its entire IT network to contain the threat and preserve evidence for a federal investigation. Despite the disruption, city officials stressed that police officers and firefighters are continuing to respond to emergencies. Suisun City dispatchers are taking calls through the Solano County dispatch center, and officials said there is no imminent threat to the public. As of Saturday, many online city services and internal operations remain unavailable while cybersecurity experts work to investigate the incident and restore affected systems. The Suisun City Council unanimously declared a state of emergency Saturday morning, allowing the city to quickly access emergency resources and recover costs tied to the cyber incident. The city said it is working with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, California Office of Emergency Services and other state and regional agencies. Officials have not said how the malicious software entered the city's systems or who may be responsible. The incident remains under investigation. Suisun City is in Solano County at about the midway point between San Francisco and Sacramento, being about 45 miles from each city.

Two-Factor Authentication Is No Longer As Safe Thanks To This <b>Cybersecurity</b> Trick

Two-Factor Authentication Is No Longer As Safe Thanks To This Cybersecurity Trick For a while, it seemed like two-factor authentication was going to stump hackers for years to come. Its strength lies in giving you two distinct factors of authentication, mainly what you know and what you own. That is why when you enter a password (something you know) on a certain website, you're also asked to enter a code sent to your phone, tablet, or computer (something you own) in the form of a text message or push notification. It can also be something you are, like a fingerprint or facial scan. It is the second factor that presents a challenge for cybercriminals trying to hack you thousands of miles away, but now it seems they have found a way around it using a tool called Evilginx. Once you log into a website using 2FA, you begin what's known as an authenticated session. Using Evilginx, they're hijacking the session cookies, which are temporary data files in your web browser that contain various information about the session, including the session ID of the successful login, to fool the website into thinking you're the one who has logged in. So all they have to do to bypass 2FA is wait for you to complete the login process, allowing them to steal your password and gain access to all your personal information stored on your site. How hackers use Evilginx to bypass 2FA With normal phishing, the hacker creates a fake website that looks like a legit login portal for something you use. It can be the login page for a bank, cloud service, social media profile, or eCommerce site. The problem is that the 2FA code goes to your phone and requires extra steps to trick it out of you. So
