Nuclear Threat Initiative’s Post

If you want to see the future, then have a look at this snap-shot picture! When reading through the European cybersec agency’s report about the situation of the Low-Orbit Communication Satellite sector, one inevitably have the gutfeeling that we are starring at the next battlefield. Just add to that the somewhat mysterious warning of a couple of American government sources during the past week (you know: something nuclear, something anti-satellite, but definitely something Russian recently deployed up there), and we have all the justification to call this a pretty bad weekend! #ENISA #cybersecurity #LEO #satellite #OuterSpace #AntiSatelliteWeapons #GlobalCommunications #battlefield #SatelliteSecurity #SpaceSecurity #FutureTrends #Geopolitics #EmergingTech file:///C:/Users/n/Downloads/LEO_satcom_cyber_security_assessment_240214-1.pdf

I just finished the Industrial Cyber Security: Threat Analysis & Defense Mastery Course from Realpars. It focuses on threats specific to ICS and OT. Dragonfly has targetted many industries, including those in the energy, nuclear, pharmaceutical, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors, along with government entities (notably in the US, UK, and Turkey)

The Nuclear Threat In this essay we ask ourselves, prompted by the actuality of an ongoing conflict with uncertain outcomes, what would happen if a country, or non-state actor, decided to conduct an attack against an adversary equipped with nuclear capabilities and how to avoid such an event. After addressing in the first part of the article the topic of nuclear deterrence as it has evolved since the Cold War, in the second part we focus on possible responses and solutions to probable cyber-attacks on a nuclear facility or weapon system. Keywords: nuclear threat, nuclear deterrence, cyber age, cyberattack, public-private partnership.

“Within 120 days of the NDAA’s enactment, the working group will be required to brief relevant congressional defense committees on its plan for addressing identified cybersecurity gaps within NNSA’s nuclear systems. The group’s plan will also be required to “incorporate key elements of effective cybersecurity risk management strategies” that were identified by GAO. The working group would then be required to submit its completed strategy to the congressional defense committees no later than April 1, 2025.” #cybersecurity #riskassessment https://lnkd.in/ehw_qg_B

#CyberNews The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a warning about the potential for global threat actors to utilize AI in executing nuclear or chemical attacks against U.S. interests. In recent guidelines, DHS highlighted existing vulnerabilities within U.S. security measures for biological and chemical sectors, stressing the urgency for critical infrastructure to bolster cybersecurity efforts and mitigate AI risks. The report encourages immediate action to provide organizations with specific, actionable recommendations and hands-on tools to effectively secure against the increasing AI-facilitated threats.
