security breach

The first two weeks of February have been exciting times in the Netherlands, with many cyber security incidents making headlines in the news. One of the most worrisome involved keeping my country, a country that is below sea level, dry.  This task is delegated to industrial systems - and one would expect the safety of millions of people properly managed and kept up to the highest standards. But is it?

Earlier this month I came across a great article called “The new paradigm for utility information security: assume your security system has already been breached” by Ernie Hayden of Verizon’s Global Energy & Utility Practice.  I highly recommend you read it, for the reasons I explain in this blog post.
