PM World Book Review: Digital Resilience
/by RedSealPM World Journal | July 2018
The subtitle grasped my attention, “Is your Company Ready for the Next Cyber Threat?” With the speed of change and the lack of international laws to detect and prosecute the criminals, my mind quickly responded, “I doubt it?”
This title addresses the rise in cybercrimes and every business, large and small are at risk. It helps law abiding business people peek inside the minds and tactics of international criminals to understand the threats, identify the weakness and effectively respond, no matter what it takes.
Russia’s Alternate Internet

Russia has nearly completed an alternative to the Domain Name System — the common “phone book” of the internet that translates numerical IP addresses to readable text like “Amazon.com” and “NYMag.com.” When implemented, the DNS alternative could separate Russia and its allies from the rest of the connected internet — a possibility that, however remote, has experts worried about a “balkanization” of a global network.
Last November, the Russian Security Council announced its ambition to create an independent internet infrastructure for Russia and the other members of BRICS (Brazil, India, China, and South Africa). According to reports, the Russian government sought to create the alternative internet to protect itself from American and Western manipulation of internet services and avoid “possible external influence.” (Sound familiar?)
ICS Security: ‘The Enemy Is in the Wire’

Threats to industrial control systems are real and frightening. The government is taking steps to keep us safer in the future, but there are near-term steps you can take right now.
“The enemy is in the wire.” During the Vietnam War, this call would ring out to alert everyone that the enemy was in the perimeter of fortifications. In our cyber world, we’ve known this for years; however, the call rang frighteningly true in May of this year.
This particular enemy was first discovered in August 2017, as a new piece of malware, now known as Trisis. A Middle Eastern oil and gas company found the malware when its industrial equipment started shutting down.
Keeping Score with Digital Resilience
/by RedSealCybrary | July 10, 2018
With Ray Rothrock, RedSeal CEO
As much as everyone hates to think about this, it is a reality that we all must face: cyberattacks are not going to stop, and everyone is a target. It may even be safe to say that any person who has even briefly gone on the Internet has been exposed to some cyber threat, whether it be a phishing email or malware download.
Security Lessons From Crazy-Busy Airports
/by RedSealForbes | July 9, 2018
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
I found myself in London Heathrow recently with a few hours to kill. I’d heard about a big political brouhaha rumbling along about adding a third runway, but there are lots of competing pressures — from the economic to the environmental and everything in between. So I decided to spend my down time looking into that. Just how badly does Heathrow need another runway?
After reading a good piece in Wired, this amateur pilot found the statistics intense: Heathrow functions at almost 99% capacity, essentially packing in as many people as the airport can take, with a landing or takeoff taking place every 45 seconds. Forty-five seconds might sound like there’s still some room for error, but from my point of view, it’s far from it. I’m not allowed to land the small planes I fly for three minutes after a big jet takes off or lands due to the dangerous turbulence they leave in their wake. If I wanted to land at Heathrow, it would have to make a huge gap, canceling landing clearances for at least three big jets. That would inconvenience many hundreds of people. What’s worse, at these use levels, the ripple effects could last all day.
As a security professional, I found a behind-the-scenes aspect of the story most interesting — specifically, the approach taken to ensure resilience.

/by RedSealFedScoop | June 26, 2018
RedSeal CEO Ray Rothrock said that achieving digital resilience begins when you know about your networks — “where they connect, how they connect, to whom they give access, and what they expose.”
According to Rothrock, there are specific steps agencies should take to improve resilience:
