Verizon: Cyber Attacks Hit New Targets in New Ways
12/9/2015Manufacturing and production environments as well as critical infrastructure are being targeted by polymorphic attacks intended to embarrass, says David Ostertag, global investigations manager for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. The polymorphic nature of the attacks means they not only hit companies on multiple fronts, but the attacks themselves evolve over time. That means enterprises need to look at each attack on a broader basis to determine its true impact on all parts of the operation.
As multiple speakers at this event stressed, however, only early sharing will create an industry-wide response capable of shutting down major attacks.
