  • IoT is everywhere. From hospital beds to oil pipelines, smart thermostats to power grid sensors, the explosion of connected devices has outpaced traditional IT. Now we have to secure wearables, automation sensors, diagnostic tools, and infrastructure-critical systems. Many of them lack even basic security controls like antivirus or identity management, and they can't support an agent. That’s why visibility and control at the device level is no longer optional. At Forescout’s research lab in the Netherlands, we put real-world IoT devices to the test. The (not surprising) results? Many are vulnerable, and the risks are real. Forescout helps organizations secure every connected thing with: ✔️ Complete device visibility  ✔️Automated segmentation  ✔️Zero Trust enforcement  ✔️Real-time threat detection Want to see how it works? https://lnkd.in/gMNkiFA5 #CyberResilience #IoTSecurity #ZeroTrust #Forescout #NetworkVisibility #SmartInfrastructure

    making network engineering cool again 😈

    Most of the time when we think about IT we think about corporate networks for computers. But today... there are more IoT things than IT things. - Smart city systems - Oil pipeline sensors - Wearable medical trackers - Manufacturing automation sensors - Hospital patient monitoring systems - Remote diagnostic equipment - Agricultural IoT devices - Power grid sensors - Smart thermostats ...... to name JUST a few. And unlike laptops or phones, they don’t get antivirus patching or identity management. I had the chance to travel to Forescout’s research lab in the Netherlands, where they test IOT devices to see how secure they actually are. With device-level visibility, segmentation, and zero trust, the attack stops at the source. - No blind spots. - No unchecked access. - The network stays secure. If you want to learn how Forescout can help you secure every device on your network, check out the blog below: https://lnkd.in/ectrNbsi P.S. How many IOT devices do you think the average hospital uses today? #ad #ForescoutPartner Forescout Technologies Inc.

  • Anthropic reports what it calls the first largely AI-driven cyber-espionage campaign: GTG-1002, a suspected state-linked actor using AI to carry out most stages of intrusion across multiple targets worldwide. AI is moving from a tool to a primary operator, finding vulnerabilities, chaining exploits, and adapting in real time. Most attacks are still human-led today, but the line is shifting. What this means for defenders: ✔️ The attacker may not be human. Threat models and response plans need to evolve. ✔️ Frameworks like ATT&CK and ATLAS are starting points. They must adapt to machine-speed, adaptive adversaries. ✔️ AI can also defend. Autonomous tools can probe, detect, and remediate faster than humans alone. #Cybersecurity #AI #ThreatIntelligence #AutonomousCyberAttacks #Forescout

    If you're searching for the line you never wanted to cross, you'll find it in the rear-view mirror. Anthropic’s GTG-1002 report is being billed as the first largely AI-orchestrated cyber-espionage campaign. For a lot of people, that’s the moment the alarm bell finally became audible. For me, it’s something else: the moment a warning I’ve been giving since 2017 stopped being “nightmare scenario” panel fodder and started leading the news. Back then I was talking about attackers using AI to build autonomous attack machinery online, drawing a straight line to the “killer robots” debate at the UN, and pointing to Emotet as an early sign of what happens when automation and context-aware social engineering collide. In 2019, Computer Weekly ran with the headline that autonomous cyber weapons were “inevitable.” At the time, that felt very Cassandra. In 2025, it’s just called “Tuesday.” In this new article I’ve tried to pull those threads together: Anthropic’s GTG-1002 case, years of Emotet’s thread hijacking, the glacial progress on banning lethal autonomous weapons, and the uncomfortable reality that our kill chains, ATT&CK matrices and playbooks still quietly assume the thing on the other side of the keyboard is human. My argument is simple: the age of AI-orchestrated attacks has begun, and defenders now have to redesign their assumptions for a world where the primary operator may not be human at all. It's long, but it's worth it! #AI #cybersecurity #threatintel

  • What do a smart bed, an IV pump, and a blood pressure monitor have in common? ✔️ They’re all connected.  ✔️They’re all critical.  ✔️And they’re all vulnerable. In modern hospitals, thousands of devices silently support patient care, but they also expand the attack surface. When one is compromised, the ripple effect can be devastating for patient safety and privacy. Forescout helps healthcare organizations turn risk into control: ▶️Discover every device  ▶️Segment and secure the network  ▶️Detect threats before they disrupt care  ▶️Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations Want to see how it works?

    Some of the most dangerous devices in a hospital are the ones no one ever thinks about. I had the chance to travel to Forescout's research lab in the Netherlands, and meet Elisa, their VP of Engineering. IoT devices in healthcare can be a huge risk: - smart beds - blood pressure monitors - smart IV pumps All of these present new opportunities for threat actors. We saw this in 2017, when WannaCry ransomware paralyzed hospitals, canceling surgeries and leaving patients untreated. It wasn’t just inconvenient - it put lives at risk. So how do we stop it? → Segment and isolate vulnerable devices. → Check for old software or bad setups. → Identify every device on the network. → Watch for threats in real time.
