Is the Power Grid Getting More Vulnerable to Cyber Attacks?

Here at Bedrock, we couldn’t agree more with Scientific American that protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure needs to be a top priority. It is inherent to our mission. The author ‘s take on “What should we be doing to improve robustness against cyberattacks?” holds that “There’s a sliding scale of [security measures] you can invest in. You have architecture—building it right from the beginning.” Followed by “passive defense: vendor tools and security tools on top of the architecture” and active defense—“people hunting inside the environment for threats.”

Building it right from the beginning may seem like an unsolvable problem for many brownfield environments – but it’s never been easier to start inserting intrinsically secure ICS components to buildout your defenses. Ask us about how a Bedrock migration strategy can put your ICS on a track to “build it right from the beginning.”
