Expert Comment about data breach on Greece’s largest natural gas distributor DESFA
August 2022 by Todd Carroll CISO, at CybelAngel
Following a confirmed data breach on Greece’s largest natural gas distributor DESFA, Todd Carroll CISO, at CybelAngel comments the following:
"Given the massive stakes involved in keeping critical infrastructure secure, the premise that ransomware is a public safety issue is now more evident than ever. This incident is a good reminder that organisations must constantly scan for network access to include open ports and vulnerabilities from outside the enterprise perimeter to uncover their exposed attack surface. This allows for the protection of networks, confidential and sensitive data quickly, before it is exploited. No one step alone prevents ransomware, but proactivity and preparedness greatly reduce the likelihood and impact of a ransom attack."
