Mackay Sugar Cyberattack Shows Need for Resilience When IT/OT Dependencies Exist

The Mackay Sugar Cyberattack demonstrates that digital transformation has eroded the line separating the digital world from physical impacts. Organizations must build resilient cyber-physical systems that stand up to cyberattacks, especially when IT/OT dependencies exist.

My Verification of Autonomous Systems book is finally out!

In addition to contributed chapters on theoretical and practical aspects of verifying autonomy*, the editors contributed an introduction on stakeholder perspectives and a chapter on the specific challenges autonomy introduces to verification.

Each chapter is cross-referenced to e challenges it addresses in a handy table to help readers find the information most useful to them.

I'm really proud of all our authors! So many thanks to everyone who contributed^, especially my co-editors, Mae Seto, Don Sofge, and John Sustersic!

E-book now available for download and hard copy coming soon!

* This book is about verifying autonomous embodied robots, not LLMs or AI models.

^ No AI was used in the generation of this book's content.

🚨 New research today from Team82 reveals cyber-physical systems (CPS) are becoming a preferred target for opportunistic threat actors, who are often inspired politically and socially by geopolitical events.

Analyzing 200+ attacks against CPS in numerous industries, the findings show:
🔹 82% used virtual network computing (VNC) to access exposed, internet-facing assets
🔹 66% involved compromised HMI or SCADA systems
🔹 Many attacks required minimal sophistication, yet posed serious risks to operations, safety, and the public

🚨 The recent cyberattack on Michigan-based medical tech manufacturer Stryker shows that threats now come not only from state actors but also from opportunistic hacktivist groups with geopolitical motives.

In this blog, we explore what the attack reveals about how global conflict is reshaping OT and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, with impacts that go far beyond IT—threatening operational continuity, supply chains, and safety in #industrial environments.

Stay informed on these evolving risks and learn how to strengthen your organization’s resilience.
