As funding divvied to cyber startups continues to explode, founders face a new dilemma: When and from whom do they accept the millions of dollars?

For its first-ever industrial controls cyber solution assessment, Mitre tested vendor solutions against Triton malware.

The attack pairs a new vulnerability with older flaws that can be leveraged in new ways to attack a popular controller used across critical infrastructure sectors.

ReFirm provides drag-and-drop automated firmware analysis, which Microsoft hopes will provide security insight for industrial IoT products, where security personnel often struggle to look inside built-in hardware.

Dragos limited initial disclosure to only relevant parties, after discovering a watering-hole malware attack that later turned out to be unrelated.

Hackers with minimal experience and technical expertise are increasingly targeting industrial networks, driving a new wave of low sophistication OT breaches that researchers tell SC Media is a strong learning opportunity for criminals.

Security teams that support IT and OT often find themselves at odds in terms of priorities and incident response tactics, heightening the risk that emerges as these two environments converge. Gamification is one tactic that help address conflict.
