Forescout Research Uncovers New Evidence Tied to Energy Sector Cyberattacks in Denmark

Forescout, a global cybersecurity solutions provider, this week unveiled Clearing the Fog of War, a report that introduces fresh evidence regarding two previously documented attacks that affected the Danish energy sector in May 2023. Forescout Research – Vedere Labs conducted an independent analysis of these attacks and discovered a larger campaign that could not be fully attributed to the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, Sandworm, along with other findings that the Danish CERT, SektorCERT, did not publish in its November 2023 report. “Distinguishing between a state-sponsored campaign aimed at disrupting critical infrastructure and a crimewave of mass exploitation campaigns, while also accounting for potential overlaps between the two, is more manageable in hindsight than in the heat of the moment,” notes Elisa Costante, VP of Research at Forescout Research – Vedere Labs. “This report underscores the significance of contextualizing observed events with comprehensive threat and vulnerability intelligence to improve OT network monitoring and enhance incident response plans.”

It’s a Team Sport: Security and Compliance

Robin Tatam of Puppet by Perforce coaches us how to approach security and compliance as a team sport. Like a team sport, everyone needs to be involved. In an ideal world, the developers’ environment is already secure and compliant when they begin to work. However, the ideal world isn’t always reality. This is why it is imperative that organizations protect their data and proprietary materials, especially as research shows that damage from cyber-attacks could result in an annual loss of $10.5 trillion by 2025. As companies grapple with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) newly adopted cybersecurity disclosure rules, security and compliance must become a top priority for not just the security team, but for the entire IT operations team. To be flexible and agile in this new disclosure era, teams cannot operate in a siloed environment – they must embrace the fact that to satisfy today’s security standards and compliance regulations, an entire organization needs to be behind this effort. Today, security and compliance must be seen as a team sport with shared responsibilities across multiple facets of the company.
