Rising Threats from Iranian Cyber Actors: Why OT Operators Can’t Afford to Stay Reactive
While geopolitical drivers and adversaries may change, one constant remains: OT networks are attractive targets precisely because of their complexity, lack of visibility, and limited tolerance for downtime. Attackers don’t need zero-days—they thrive on missed patches, forgotten assets, and reactive processes.

5 Cybersecurity Challenges OT Teams (Still) Face
As we’ve spent years working with operators and engineers in the electric utility and OT space, we’ve seen some of the same challenges come up again and again. These problems are hardly groundbreaking or new, but they are very real to those working in the trenches to secure critical infrastructure.

From the DoE: CESER-Funded Collaboration Produces Cybersecurity Toolset for Energy Utilities
We recently sat down with the U.S. Department of Energy to discuss the success of V-INT, a CESER-funded project that is now integrated into Bastazo’s platform. Developed in collaboration with Network Perception and the University of Arkansas, V-INT gives energy utilities a powerful way to assess their cybersecurity posture using attacker-aware simulations and actionable vulnerability intelligence.

Beyond Patching: Threat Driven Approach for Managing OT Vulnerabilities
Cybersecurity teams navigating industrial environments face a dilemma like Odysseus between Scylla and Charybdis—either risk disruption by applying uncertain patches or risk exposure by leaving vulnerabilities unaddressed. But what if there was a way identify which threats matter most, enabling safer, smarter decisions?

Machine Learning 101: Understanding Its Role in Cybersecurity
In the world of cybersecurity, Machine Learning (ML) is becoming an increasingly essential tool. To understand the impact of machine learning, it’s first important to understand the basics. Which is exactly what we cover below.

Why Data Quality in CSAF Matters for OT Cybersecurity
The Common Security Advisory Framework (known as CSAF) is an important tool in this space, enabling security teams to quickly access machine-readable, structured information about vulnerabilities and their remediations. However, for CSAF to be truly effective, the data provided in a vendor advisory must be consistent and accurate.

How SSVC & CSAF Improve Vulnerability Management
Learn how SSVC (Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization) and CSAF (Common Security Advisory Framework) enhance vulnerability management beyond traditional CVSS ratings, which often lack the necessary context for effective vulnerability remediation.

A Risk-Informed Remediation Management Approach for NERC CIP Compliance
By transitioning to a risk-informed remediation approach, leveraging Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) and the Cybersecurity Advisory Framework (CSAF) to enhance decision-making and operational security, organizations can prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual risk impact rather than relying on reactive, compliance-driven patching.

Remediation vs. Workaround vs. Mitigation in Cybersecurity: What’s the Difference and Why Does It Matter
In the field of vulnerability management, remediation, workaround, and mitigation are three common terms used to describe methods of addressing a vulnerability. They are sometimes used interchangeably, but their meanings can vary slightly across different vendors and organizations.
