IACS risk assessments are a must!

In this article, we focus on risk assessments as one of the most important components in a cybersecurity risk management program. Cybersecurity risk assessments for industrial control systems (ICS) and industrial automation and control systems (IACS) are used to assess the potential adverse effects to organizational operations, assets, individuals, other organizations or the community that arise from using operation/information systems, tools and processes. This process identifies and analyzes the cybersecurity risks to the organization’s operational environment from various perspectives, such as safety, reliability, availability, confidentiality and integrity.

Earth observation boosted by artificial intelligence

Earth observation is performed using images captured by satellites that are equipped with optical or radar sensors and serves a variety of purposes. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of satellites that monitor the Earth’s surface. Today, nearly 2,600 satellites are orbiting the Earth, of which more than 400 are capturing images of the Earth’s surface. An astronomical quantity of data is produced daily, because many of them have a high number of sensors and a short revisit frequency. This massive data availability makes it possible to carry out studies on the temporal evolution of land use and coverage. The massive quantity of satellite images, however, makes analysis by photo interpretation very laborious, if not impossible. Various techniques have been developed in recent years to try to automate these analysis tasks. One of the leading techniques relies on artificial intelligence (AI).

Data science serving business

In an increasingly connected world, managing massive amounts of data, or big data, is a major driving force of the economy. Today, it is easier to access thanks to several technologies that have made it possible to extract, organize and centralize the data to make it quickly accessible throughout the organization. For most businesses, the real challenge today is to clearly outline the actions that need to be taken based on the collected data and making the right decisions as a result.
