Summary
The recent cyber attacks on the Port of Seattle and Halliburton oilfield highlight the increasing threats to critical infrastructure. Halliburton activated its cybersecurity response plan and communicated with stakeholders to manage the fallout. To enhance defenses, it is important to assess the current security posture, implement a zero trust framework, and segment and secure the network. Regular updates, continuous training, and a well-documented incident response plan are also crucial.
