"CDM Policies Provide a Vital Shield Against Climate-Driven Cyberattacks, Experts Say"
According to cybersecurity experts, critical infrastructure operators can use traditional but increasingly innovative security practices to prevent emerging threats related to extreme heat waves, massive storms, and other weather events exacerbated by climate change. Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) policies can significantly mitigate destructive cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure industries by proactively identifying and addressing various cybersecurity challenges, ranging from digital intrusions to software system vulnerabilities. As cybercriminals continue exploiting climate-induced extreme weather events, CDM policies can play a crucial role in mitigating these heightened risks by providing critical infrastructure operators with important security tools, such as modern access controls and automated vulnerability remediation. This article continues to discuss climate-driven cyberattacks and the use of CDM policies to protect against them.
