CISA hires Navy cyber expert to help oversee vulnerability management
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency tapped a Navy leader in cyber and network operations Wednesday to lead its efforts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and information security weaknesses.
The nation’s cyber defense agency named Sandy Radesky as the associate director of vulnerability management in a statement posted to CISA’s official Twitter account.
Radesky, who previously served as the deputy command information officer for the U.S. Fleet Cyber Command since December 2020, is a longtime veteran of cyber operations, has spent most of her career supporting the Department of Defense.
She served as the director of analytics for the COVID-19 Countermeasures Acceleration Group beginning in June 2021, where she led a team of “data scientists, logisticians and technologists” to help optimize the process of distributing 400 million vaccinations as part Operation Warp Speed, according to her Navy profile.
Prior to that, Radesky served as deputy director of operations at Joint Force Headquarters Department of Defense Information Network at Fort Meade, Maryland, helping oversee enterprise-wise command and control and cyberspace missions.
A seven-year tenure at the Defense Information Systems Agency ultimately saw her lead the Global Operations Command Defensive Cyber Operations Security Center, its largest operational command tasked with safeguarding the DODIN network.
The news comes as CISA and the entire federal government face an ever-increasing threat landscape of cyber vulnerabilities. Radesky’s appointment was announced just days after the agency added another Microsoft zero day vulnerability to its catalog of known vulnerabilities that the company said can allow an attacker to gain system privileges after successfully logging in and running a specially crafted application.
CISA has given all federal agencies until January 31 to patch the bug, titled CVE-2023-21674.
Radesky has also worked as an engineer and project manager for multiple information security and cybersecurity firms in the private sector, including as an engineer for MITRE and an information security analyst at CSC. She previously served as a communications operator in the U.S. Air…
FMI uncovers massive growth of IoT network management market
According to the IoT network management industry analysis by Future Market Insights (FMI), the demand registered in the IoT network management market will grow at a noteworthy CAGR of around 23.3% from 2022-2032.
The report states that the market is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 5.1 billion by the end of 2022.
According to the researchers, IoT networks are rapidly expanding across the globe, allowing businesses, and industries to control and/or monitor a broad range of smart gadgets. With any network technology, speed and responsiveness are crucial for accurate and dependable IoT device performance.
IoT networks, on the other hand, have a variety of network performance issues due to the presence of heterogeneous and resource-constrained devices communicating through error-prone radio channels and frequently deployed in hostile environments.
The Internet of Things (IoT) tangibly solves significant business problems in a variety of industries. Healthcare, smart cities, building management, utilities, transportation, and manufacturing are among the early users of this technology, attesting to its numerous advantages.
However, the number of threats and cyber attacks directed at IoT devices and networks is on the rise in both number and complexity. Attacks like IoT botnets, DNS threats, IoT ransomware, IoT physical security, and shadow IoT are on the rise in IoT devices, connected software, and network connections.
Combining IoT solutions with edge processing technology supports minimising the vulnerabilities as edge security helps in protecting users and sensitive data. Therefore, there is an increased need to secure the devices and network, and use them to strengthen network security. As a result, enterprises are deploying IoT network management solutions to protect devices against new security threats, the researchers state.
“Different functionalities of IoT network management help to maintain network performance. Increasing adoption of IoT network management platforms across large enterprises will augment the growth in the market over the forecast period,” says an FMI analyst.
Key takeaways include the following:
- By solution, demand in the network…
