Threats on cyber security are evolving rapidly in this age and time, and many companies are falling behind in employing proper security measures. Last year, the Industrial control systems had been targeted by the malware called BlackEnergy and it is sad to say that the creation of patches to the systems were slow. Another prime target of cyber security threats is the healthcare industry. Airplanes are also prone to hacking. Just recently, Chris Roberts made the news when he hacked an aircraft’s systems and made it fly sideways. In light of these events, companies should thoroughly consider the risks involved with connectivity and regularly test their systems.
