You know it’s not going to be a
good day when a cybersecurity company is breached. Cybersecurity companies are
supposed to be the top tier and subject matter experts of cybersecurity. Since
they are selling and marketing their services to other companies, one would
infer their stance and defensive posture is without reproach. A recent issue
with Sophos recently shown light on this. Sophos is a cybersecurity company,
selling many services, located in the UK. The company is well-known in the
industry, for good reasons. In mid-November of this year, the company
experienced an attack and subsequent breach. The attackers were able to
exfiltrate data during the attack, including user names, emails, and contact
numbers. Fortunately, per Sophos, only a small number of customers were
affected by the issue. This is an example of why we need to maintain vigilance with cybersecurity. This field changes frequently and is not static.
The lack of regular updates and monitoring provides for too many viable attacks
points to try.
PLEASE contact us when we may be
of assistance with embedded systems cybersecurity architecture, validation, and
penetration testing. We have a full lab ready to perform.
