As an organisation, it is necessary to have a good working backup system. Due to increasing cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks, there is an increasing risk of data loss. Back-ups are therefore necessary to restore the systems quickly. Depending on the size of the organisation, you can opt for a simple or a complex […]
The DCMR Environmental service conducted a study into the cybersecurity risks and resilience at BRZO/SEVESO companies in South Holland and Zeeland. DCMR stated that more attention is needed for digital resilience at this type of high risk companies. This study shows that some larger companies in particular have already taken the necessary cyber security measures, […]

This week it became public that multiple industrial facilities had interrupted operations due to ransomware attacks. This led to a disruption of human-machine interfaces (HMIs), data historians, and polling servers, which were no longer able to process data from low-level industrial control systems (ICS). Human operators could no longer monitor processes, but the attack did […]
CR-Team has presented at the latest edition of the FERM-Rotterdam Port Cyber Café about the “impact of cyber on the OT domain”. After the difference between IT and OT security was explained using the CIA triad the focus shifted to the challenges of securing OT. The well known Triton attack was used to demonstrate and […]
Every year the number of reported ICS vulnerabilities increases with about a third. In an IT world that is cumbersome but can be solved with an -automatic- patch round or scheduled update. In OT however we are not this flexible and need to work with our vulnerable systems for a longer period, until the impact […]
A recent research paper about an ICS honeypot is great in several ways: It shows how easy it is to set up a fake company. These ‘companies’ can then be used for fraud and phishing (terminal spoofing for example) but also for malware distribution. You learn which vulnerabilities attract attackers. It describes perfectly how hackers […]
