FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most common, frequently asked questions about MicroAI

Cyber-Security – The Escalating Threat

Are cyber-attacks really increasing? Are companies facing increased risk of expose to cyber-intrusion? Are cyber-criminals using more sophisticated tools and methodologies? The answer to all these questions is an unequivocal, yes!

While some cyber-criminals continue to rely on tried-and-true methods to penetrate legacy security defenses, many others are continuously developing new techniques that are more insidious and more destructive. The cyber landscape today is hardly recognizable from that of just a few years ago.

Every industry sector that depends on secure performance of machines, and the integrity of the data that they produce, now faces a host of new security challenges.

  • Overwhelming Volume: Global cyber-attacks are increasing at a rate of ~ 300% year over year. The sheer volume of attacks overwhelms the personnel and existing tools responsible for cyber protection.
  • Device Power/Memory Limitations: Many IT and OT edge devices operate on low power and limited memory. These devices are less adaptable to traditional security measures and more vulnerable to attack.
  • Inconsistent Connectivity: Many IT and OT asset ecosystems contain devices and machines that have inconsistent connectivity. Connectivity disruptions increase the risk of cyber intrusion.
  • Inability to Predict Threats: Most legacy security tools are purely reactive. Asset stakeholders have no ability to predict potential cyber threats or to take preventive action.
  • Crippling Ransomware Attacks: Ransomware attacks can result in the temporary or permanent loss of sensitive data. Depending on the scope of the attack, a single asset, an entire factory, or a chain of interconnected factories can be disabled.

Ransomware

Ransomware is a form of malware that infects devices, machines, or systems. The infection can penetrate an individual asset or expand to infect and entire ecosystem of devices and machines. As the name implies, the malicious actor then demands a “ransom” for the return of access to systems and files.
