This week on Mitigation Journal:
Recent Cyber Attack is cause for concern
Mitigation Journal is:
Hosted by Rick Russotti, RN, Paramedic
Co Host Matt Comer, Paramedic
With special guest Jamie Davis, The Medic Cast
Please visit Mitigation Journal at www.mitigationjournal.org
Three reasons this cyber-attack is cause for concern -
- No early warning systems in place to detect an attempted or actual cyber-attack. This attack was discovered only after the damage had been done. There was no detection mechanism in place to alert of an attack or attack attempt. Without early warning/detection systems, there could be additional attacks on more critical systems at any point...or in progress.
- This could have been a probing attack...to evaluate vulnerability and assess reaction/response. A probing attack could indicate a larger cyber attack is on the horizon.
- Critical infrastructure lacks resiliency. Impact in this case was limited because redundant systems were in place and functional. Our power grid, by comparison, lacks functional redundancies. Had this attack shut down an electric generator or destroyed a vital component of the power grid, the outcomes could have been much more dramatic.
