News summary

The Biden administration is releasing new cybersecurity guidance to protect critical energy infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding technologies such as batteries, electric vehicles, and smart energy management systems as the nation transitions to a more digitized energy landscape. This initiative aligns with a recent report from Claroty, which revealed vulnerabilities in Unitronics' integrated PLCs/HMIs after attacks linked to the Iran-linked hacker group CyberAv3ngers, highlighting the urgent need for cybersecurity measures in critical infrastructure. Additionally, the operational technology sector faces significant risks, as many organizations lack visibility into their cybersecurity posture, akin to the breach experienced by Target in 2013. The vulnerability landscape is also evolving, with reports indicating a monthly average of 2,900 newly disclosed vulnerabilities, including several actively exploited flaws in Google Chrome and Microsoft products. In response to ongoing cyber threats, a new project called UnDisruptable27 aims to enhance communication and awareness around the critical interdependence of services like water and power, stressing the urgency of improved cybersecurity. The project is set to pilot with a grant aimed at fostering public discourse on securing vital infrastructure against rising cyber threats.
