In the wake of the recent cyber-physical attack on Ukraine's electrical grid in October 2022, as detailed in the Mandiant report, the imperative for robust cybersecurity measures is more evident than ever. This blog post explores how SIGA's Level 0 monitoring, inspired by insights from Mandiant's revelations, emerges as a pivotal solution in defending critical infrastructure against such sophisticated attacks. Mandiant's Insights: Unraveling the Cyber-Physical Attack Mandiant's report sheds light on the intricacies of the cyber-physical attack that targeted Ukraine's electrical grid in October 2022. The Russia-linked threat actor, Sandworm, employed novel techniques, including Living off the Land (LotL) tactics, to disrupt the operational technology (OT) infrastructure, leading to an unplanned power outage and subsequent chaos. As the threat landscape evolves, defending ...

Highlights the significance of Cybersecurity Monitoring at ICS Level 0. Regulation compliance targeted at 1,600 Israeli entities handling hazardous materials In any given state or country, there are thousands of manufacturing plants and facilities which hold and use hazardous materials as part of their production processes. Failures in the production, storage or transportation systems of these plants may result in severe damage to public health and the environment. In most cases, these systems are operated, automated and controlled by computerized systems, or ICS (Industrial Control Systems), so a cyber event can potentially cause a failure or disruption in the computerized system and lead to a catastrophic hazardous materials event. Examples of hazardous events that may occur due to a cyber incident: Emissions of gases that endanger the public Explosions ...
