Industrial Security Conference CPH’s Post

THE CYBER THREAT IS EVOLVING – AND WE MUST STAY AHEAD The CFCS has released *Cyber Threats Against Denmark 2024*, their annual assessment where they outline the nature of the threat and determine the current threat levels. Aside from the destructive cyber-attack level, which were raised from low to medium in June 2024, the other threat levels remain unchanged from last year. So, you might wonder, if the situation hasn’t changed, is it really that concerning? But it's essential to remain cautious! Here are a few key takeaways: - Hackers' methods are constantly advancing – we face an evolving threat, which requires constant vigilance. - Russia is increasingly willing to take risks in challenging NATO countries through sabotage, influence campaigns, and cyber-attacks – which could also extend to destructive cyber-attacks. - The threat of cyber espionage is at its highest level – and cyber espionage can be a precursor to destructive cyber-attacks.   While it’s not likely to see highly destructive cyber-attacks with severe consequences imminently, complacency is not an option in a world where the threat landscape remains grim and will likely continue to be so. The threat is serious. We must ensure our digital infrastructure is robust enough to prevent opportunistic attacks.

Pending the adoption of an international treaty on cybercrime, the UNITED NATIONS is working for the adoption by the member states of a national point of contact (POC) to face international crisis that can derive from cyber attacks. The POC will work as an emergency 🚨 line between countries in case of cyber incidents,especially in case of mis-attribution, the risk is the escalation that can destabilize peace and security in cyber space.

There's a new development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. According to a Google analysis conducted by its Threat Analysis Group and Mandiant, a half-dozen regional cyber threat groups have adjusted their operations to participate in the conflict. These groups have ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, and have objectives including espionage, information operations, or destructive activities. While there's little evidence that the Oct. 7th attack on Israel included a planned cyber component, the report suggests that these regional hacking units remain opportunistic but focused. #google #mandiant Link: https://lnkd.in/ezVzF3hb

-Disclosure of the 'The Mask' espionage group resurfacing after a decade sheds light on their latest campaign in Latin America and Central Africa, setting off alarms within the cyber security community due to their Spanish-speaking origin and nearly 400 past victims. -The technical sophistication displayed by 'The Mask' group, coupled with their target regions and previous success, signals an elevated threat level to organizations in these areas. -This development underscores the importance of proactive defenses, continuous monitoring, and advanced threat intelligence to mitigate the risk posed by such persistent threat actors in the ever-evolving cyber landscape.

🚨 Experts Urge 'NATO-Like' Cyber Defense Against Chinese Hacking 🚨 U.S. and allies face rising cyber threats from China, prompting calls for a collective defense strategy. Experts highlight the need for unified measures to protect critical infrastructure from sophisticated attacks. Blake Cahen of IronNet advocates for shared defense mechanisms, essential against advanced phishing tactics. China's "hack for hire" program targets sensitive data, impacting military networks and causing significant losses globally. FBI Director Wray and DHS Secretary Mayorkas stress the urgency of protecting critical infrastructure. Collaborative efforts between governments and tech companies are key to staying ahead of these evolving threats.

The world is changing.  Every day it becomes more digital and so does war. The ongoing war in Ukraine is evidence of this.  In fact, it is considered the first digital war in which both sides have been able to employ a vast number of cyber tactics to gain the upper hand.  The war in Ukraine may therefore be a blueprint for what the digital wars of the future will look like and what role cybersecurity will have in them.  So, what can other countries learn about cybersecurity from the war in Ukraine?  Find out by reading our full article:  https://lnkd.in/d8ptJCS9
