This article aims to present a brief example guide for an implementation of the new standard in a supplier's facilities.
Going through the critical points of the standard, a generic use case will be followed to exemplify how a vehicle manufacturer can adapt its processes to comply with the new standard in an efficient and effective way.
By presenting an overview of the standard and production processes, the aim is to provide a brief guide to serve as a starting point and help avoid common failures in industrial environments when faced with new regulations, such as redundancy of effort, inefficiency in resource management and deficiencies in the application of safety measures.
Organizations face the constant challenge of adopting new security strategies, such as the Zero Trust model, which operates under the premise of "never trust, always verify." This change is crucial especially in cloud environments, where identity and resource access management is more complex. In particular, the Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is a key system, which focuses on controlling user access to the web, protecting against web-based threats, and enforcing security policies. It acts as an intermediary between users and the internet, filtering and inspecting web traffic to ensure it meets the organization's security requirements.
However, implementing and managing SWGs presents significant challenges, such as integration with existing infrastructures, managing complexity, and scalability. These challenges require meticulous attention to ensure effective and efficient protection in the changing cybersecurity landscape. This article explores the purpose and function of SWGs, as well as their architecture, their ability to protect against cyber threats, and best practices for their implementation.
In the field of cybersecurity, CASB systems play a crucial role in providing an additional layer of protection for cloud applications. This approach prevents threats, detects malware, and ensures privacy in a digital environment, thereby addressing the growing need for data protection.
This article explores how CASB systems work, their key applications, and their benefits in terms of security and privacy, ensuring that applications operate by protecting data in cloud environments and maintaining fine-grained control over cloud operations. From vendor assessment to malicious behavior detection, its versatility extends, offering benefits such as risk mitigation and improved cloud security.
The automotive world has always been one of the most cutting-edge sectors in terms of the technology used, which is why today's cars are equipped with technologies such as Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, etc., which improve different aspects such as comfort, fuel efficiency and increased safety.
But these implemented technologies can also bring with them serious problems, such as the risk of cyber-attacks that can affect passengers in the vehicle, both at the level of personal data and physical security.
For this reason, this article aims to provide an insight into some of the cyber-attacks that smart cars have suffered and how cyber-security is evolving and adapting to make more and more vehicles cyber-safe.
The Zero Trust methodology is based on the premise that no user, device, or network can be trusted, and that access privileges and security levels must be continuously verified in all interactions.
The motivation for applying the Zero Trust methodology is the need to protect a company's sensitive data and digital resources against potential internal and external threats.
The evolution of communications in society is also having an impact on the industrial world. With the arrival of 5G, many industrial companies have considered migrating some of their communications to take advantage of the characteristics of this new mobile communications band, such as the reduction of latency times, the increase in connection speed or the exponential increase in the number of devices that can be connected to the network. These characteristics fit perfectly with the industrial mentality, where there are a multitude of interconnected devices between which there cannot be a communication cut due to the criticality of the processes they implement.
This article aims to comment, in addition to all the advantages that 5G provides to the industry, the different uses that can be given currently and the complexity of implementing these communications in some devices for subsequent deployment in the industry. Also, to specify possible vulnerabilities in communications using 5G networks.
Knowing the resources available when performing tasks of hardening a system, will allow us to optimize the time necessary to obtain a safer system. In addition, we have the possibility of using tools capable of auditing the system that identifies those configurations that are considered safe and which ones we could implement.
This post will analyse the vulnerabilities associated with Log4Shell, detected in the library Log4j, which is found in infinite software products both in technical and industrial fields. Although there have been other instances of more sophisticated vulnerabilities, the problem with this one is area of exposure.
