Cyber Defense eMagazine March Edition for 2022
The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in DC, London, FL, NY and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings site being revamped); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

#5: Vulnerabilities in critical Infrastructure will be recognized<br />
At the other end of the scale is critical national infrastructure, which is increasingly digitalized but reliant<br />
on security measures <strong>for</strong> control systems that were developed be<strong>for</strong>e data, sensors, and networking were<br />
embedded in core control systems.<br />
Critical infrastructure is no more immune to the natural laws of cybersecurity than any other sector of the<br />
economy: surges in technological development create the perfect environment <strong>for</strong> cyber crime to flourish,<br />
and the targets with the highest value but weakest security will be top of the list.<br />
An attack on just the building management system of just one New York City office block via a connected<br />
vending machine caused damage estimated at $350m. The economic impact of a severe cyber-attack<br />
on the US power-grid could be at least $240bn.<br />
But the motive to hit critical infrastructure isn’t just financial. It can be political too. Hacktivists, terrorists<br />
and <strong>for</strong>eign agents see energy grids, health systems, and transport logistics, as useful bargaining tools.<br />
Intelligent, bullet-proof solutions are needed, ideally a zero-trust architecture with AI-embedded cybersecure<br />
SSD as the last line of defense.<br />
This is X-PHY’s final, unofficial, prediction <strong>for</strong> <strong>2022</strong>. Offense is getting smarter. So will the defense. This<br />
is the year that zero-trust architecture becomes the lens through which all cybersecurity solutions are<br />
viewed.<br />
