Menaced by miscreants, critical infrastructure needs a good ETHOS. Ah, here's one A group of some of the largest operational technology companies are using this year's RSA Conference as an opportunity to launch an open source early-threat-warning system designed for OT and industrial control systems (ICS) environments. Dubbed ETHOS (that's Emerging THreat Open Sharing), the information-sharing platform is …
Once up and running, "ETHOS will collectively uncover and share emerging threats for which there is no threat intelligence or no known attack pattern available, across private and public sector stakeholders," the ETHOS Community said. It describes ETHOS further as an always-on, hotline-esque system that will "correlate info from many security vendors to identify anomalous behavior."
The emergent and expanding and strengthening difficulty/problem for the likes a CISA/DoD/Dept. of Homeland Security/public Government body, and to deny such is a current colossal vulnerability and global hazard for proactive exploitation and employment in successfully comprehensively betatested applications by ethereal A.N.Others, is whenever the likes of an ETHOS discover emerging threats from the virtually and practically untouchable exercising novel creatively disruptive information and exclusive proprietary intellectual property share [aka top secrets] in deep and dark webbed private and pirate body sectors on which there is no threat intelligence nor any known attack pattern available for effective defence of the conventional and traditional and status quo private and public sector stakeholders, are a great deal more viable and attractive than anything being proposed and live tested/trailed and trialed experimentally elsewhere.
“critical infrastructure sectors, where much of the world's OT and ICS systems live, remain alluring targets for miscreants and spies.”
Is there a way of connecting critical infrastructure together, without exposing it to miscreants and spies?
Is there a way of connecting critical infrastructure together, without exposing it to miscreants and spies? .... t245t
In a word of one syllable, t245t, that practically everyone can understand ..... No!
Such prevents and presents the head-cases and criminally insane and accommodative with the very real likelihood of being confronted and confounded and convicted and consumed by the result of their actions, both former and present, and the dire just consequences of all of their future proposals too, such is the phenomenal speed of wicked intelligence feed nowadays?
And only shared as question there for you to consider and reflect on the careful nature required in all that you may dare share, whenever nothing is any longer available as a secret for stealthy exclusive abuse and misuse.
Great language .. Skillz. You could take the time to spell out ETHOS for it's first instance in the article well done, so now, maybe my 'Over Time' is at risk ? or was it my 'Occupation Therapy' .. I'm having an issue wondering just which bit of OT is at stake ... Another assumptive anachronistic FOUL up ahoy!!
Now I know what FOUL stands for, but do you ??
