Among the 1.5 million patients’ personal records exfiltrated, the targeting of the Prime Minister’s records clearly demonstrated the attacks’ sophistication. How Did the Data Leak Happen From the initial investigations, it was shown that one of the SingHealth workstations […]

Fighting against cyberattacks is at the forefront of many research expeditions, especially regarding critical infrastructures such as power grids and water treatment plants.

It is fairly common knowledge that technology people use daily such as cell phones, laptops, and tablets, could be susceptible to a cyberattack. A lesser known threat is that the power grid, water treatment plants, and other daily-use systems, are also susceptible.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have many uses and are growing in popularity. But because they do not utilize human pilots onboard the craft, they can pose a hazard to humans as well as the environment.

As cybersecurity continues to be a worldwide concern, ADSC researchers are working to improve upon and apply a technology that has been proven to be reliable in identifying and analyzing security attacks – a honeypot – to industrial control systems.

To solve many problems in life, one must often first think like the opposition, anticipate their moves, and then create a strategy to defend against them. That’s exactly what cybersecurity researchers at ADSC are doing.
