Each quarter, a selection of ICIT Fellows gather to discuss their perspectives on a timely cybersecurity topic pertinent to critical infrastructure resiliency and national security. The full ICIT Fellows' Insights Roundtable video is featured below. The conversation topic and questions are based on questions solicited from the ICIT community and we hope that the Fellows' Insights prove informative, actionable, and meaningful. As with all ICIT content, the entirety of the disc

In continued support of our mission to cultivate a cybersecurity renaissance that will improve the resiliency of our nation’s 16 critical infrastructure sectors, defend our democratic institutions, and empower generations of cybersecurity leaders, ICIT asked some of the brightest minds in national security, cybersecurity, and technology to author essays communicating their perspective. Our goal is to share their knowledge and insights with our community to shed light on solut

Nation state-sponsored threat actors develop, disseminate, and deploy ransomware in conjunction with lower sophistication threat actors as a means to disrupt critical infrastructures and covertly influence global great power competitions. While the profits from ransomware attacks appeal to lower-tier attackers and draw them into the threat landscape, nation-state APTs instead benefit from the disruption and chaos that results from both targeted and widespread attacks on the c

CIT Certified Content: The 2021 Devo SOC Performance Report™ shows that security operations centers — and those who work in them — continue to have a number of challenges to overcome. Based on an independent survey of global cybersecurity professionals, our third annual report examines current trends for those who lead and work in SOCs. While there are some indicators of slight improvement, it’s clear that for too many people, working in the SOC remains painful. The 2020 surv

Security operations centers (SOC) are the backbone of the cybersecurity industry providing defense, mitigation, and incident response against risks and attacks. However, SOCs are often criticized as ineffective, and one of the most frequently asked questions about SOC performance is “how to measure SOC effectiveness?” While mean time to resolution (MTTR) is the standard measure of effectiveness, this high-level measurement does not address the underlying optimization and perf

In the race to create a Covid-19 vaccine by collaborating across the industry, pharmaceutical companies have exposed more threat surfaces than existed before the pandemic. By combining multiple cybersecurity best practices and strategies, pharmaceutical companies stand a better chance of protecting their valuable IP and vaccines. This publication presents are ten ways the pharmaceutical industry needs to protect the Covid-19 vaccine supply chain. By closing the cybersecurity

Federal agencies have increased focus on Intelligent Automation (IA) and Robotic Processing Automation (RPA) as part of their modernization journey. Many have achieved impactful results from automating countless manual processes, freeing up time to focus on innovation and mission support. Although mission critical, the acceleration of automation can introduce new security risks and expand the attack landscape. Agencies looking to deploy IA and RPA projects should be aware tha

Zero trust isn’t a new concept, although it’s certainly gained popularity recently after numerous high-profile security incidents and the Executive Order on cybersecurity issued by the White House this past May. While there’s no shortage of theoretical and abstract information available on zero trust, actionable recommendations have been hard to come by. The zero trust architecture provides guidance on protecting resources, the general deployment models are theoretical and no
