Research set to be presented at the Blackhat conference in Las Vegas this week will reveal vulnerabilities in Industrial Ethernet Switches that could allow Nuclear Power Plants, Hydroelectric Dams and other critical infrastructure to be hacked.

Ken Westin, Security Analyst for Tripwire says “These systems should be closed off via air gapped networks but the good news is that the problem can be fixed without updating the firmware.” Tim Erlin, Director of IT security and Risk Strategy at Tripwire explains tha, “ A lot of progress has been made in recent years, but industrial networking systems have an exceptionally long lifespan compared to corporate IT. In some cases, vendors and utilities are trying to address security issues on more than 15 year old devices that are difficult to replace.”

Matthew Bryars, CEO of Aeriandi in this article discusses the growing threat of insider fraud in contact centres and what can be done to mitigate the risk.

Some key points:

  • The threat from within - How recent security improvements such as Chip & PIN and 3D Secure have drastically reduced fraud in traditional channels but are funnelling fraudsters into a shrinking number of less well protected paths such as phone payments, making contact centres prime targets
  • The threat this represents to organisations and their employees, particularly relating to insider threats
  • The different types of insider threats a contact centre should look out for e.g. coercion, criminal gangs planting under cover staff as well as naivety leading to risk
  • What organisations can do to protect themselves and their employees from fraudsters
