Prepare for cybersecurity assessments from your customers


PORTLAND, Maine—When a cyberattack occurs, it’s rarely an isolated occurrence. A single cybersecurity incident at one organization creates a ripple effect — impacting vendors, service providers, customers, and many others throughout the supply chain.

Enterprise organizations now realize that their service providers — the smaller vendors they do business with every day — may be a potential weak link or even a gateway to a breach. Enter the vendor cybersecurity assessment and the security integrator’s need to be ready to respond to its requests with a plan in place to actively minimize customer risk.

To get an idea of the cascading effect of cyber breaches, consider a few major incidents this year:

  • SolarWinds is a U.S. company that develops software for businesses to manage their networks, systems, and IT infrastructure. Attackers were able to compromise its Orion software impacting customers reportedly who included private and government agencies. As of early 2021, it was reported that the SolarWinds attack may have impacted an estimated 18,000 organizations across the globe with over 100 organizations being directly compromised.
     
  • The Microsoft Exchange Server incident  has been blamed on an advanced persistent threat (APT) group called Hafnium who used a zero-day flaw that allowed infiltration in to email and other IT systems. This incident had a waterfall effect as it affected an estimated 60,000 customers who scrambled to patch software before becoming further targets and victims.
     
  • As consumers, we all saw the widespread impact of a ransomware attack when Colonial pipeline’s operations were shut down by attackers resulting in the limitation of fuel supply to the east coast for days.  Following the incident the Biden Administration announced that U.S. pipeline operators will need to conduct assessments and tighten defenses. 

Security Integrators and the supply chain

Cyber incidents can also impact the security integration industry. Security companies have a responsibility to address any potential risks that may impact customers, with an understanding that their work is of a sensitive nature and provides them privileged access to sensitive data. Here are some…

NASA Data Aid Food Security Assessments in Kenya


NASA Data Aid Food Security Assessments in Kenya

Nearly 75 percent of Kenya’s people rely on farming for their food and income, so environmental issues like drought, locusts, and climate change can put many lives and livelihoods at risk. Crop insurance programs can help mitigate those risks, but it is not always easy to know where resources are needed. Now NASA-funded scientists are working with colleagues in Kenya to make better assessments of agricultural needs through the use of satellite data.

In the first few years of the country’s crop insurance program, Kenyan agriculture agents collected much of their information through in-person visits, traveling to individual farms to determine how crops were performing and if financial assistance was necessary. It was labor-intensive and time-consuming. Officials urgently needed timely information spanning vast areas of the country—and that is where NASA Earth observations came in.

“We suggested that instead of looking for farmers, we look at fields by using products derived from NASA satellite data,” said Catherine Nakalembe, a geographical scientist at the University of Maryland and a leader of the Africa section of the NASA-funded Harvest program. By adding satellite observations into their models and calculations, managers of Kenya’s agricultural insurance program could more readily assess critical information necessary to help farmers.

Grants from the USAID-NASA SERVIR program allowed the Harvest team and the Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) to incorporate satellite data on rainfall, soil moisture, and land use in ways that can inform Kenya’s agriculture monitoring programs. It also supported efforts to assess crop conditions from afar by using a technique called “cropland masks.” These mapping tools use computer analyses of satellite images and data to build highly localized views of where crops are growing and the health of those fields. The Kenyan ministry and researchers in the RCMRD can then confirm the satellite data by sampling crop…
