They use new tricks to sneak malware using TLS encryption

Hackers are constantly updating their attacks and searching out new strategies to contaminate victims' systems and obtain their purpose. This time we echo new hints that take advantage of TLS encryption to sneak malware. A hassle that could severely compromise teams and that we ought to keep away from. We can even deliver a few exciting hints to improve safety whilst browsing .  They take advantage of TLS encryption to sneak malware TLS is the acronym for Transport Layer Security, which in Spanish may be translated as transport layer security. It is used to provide comfortable and encrypted communications in the community. Something fundamental these days to keep away from troubles whilst getting into an internet site and no longer compromise our privateness.  However, this is precisely what cybercriminals are taking advantage of to carry out their attacks. There has been a big increase in malware that takes advantage of TLS encryption. In the event that we browse an unencryp

Digital transformation in transport reopens Mont Blanc tunnel

Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps, rising more than fifteen thousand feet above sea level. Its location is somewhere in the middle of the border between Italy and France. A popular tourist destination known for its hiking, skiing and snowboarding. Below Mont Blanc is the Mont Blanc tunnel, which connects France with Italy along the E25 highway. It is a strategic road as it is an important commercial route, especially for Italy, which uses it to transport 1/3 of its cargo to Northern Europe. In 2018, a total of 1,956,179 vehicles crossed the Mont Blanc Tunnel.


Fire in the Mont Blanc tunnel in 1999

In March 1999, 39 people died when a truck loaded with flour and margarine caught fire inside the tunnel. Closed for three years for renovation and improvement. It could not be reopened for business using the same technologies and forms of work. Tunnel operators had to show that they can avoid accidents, but if an accident does occur, the response will be quick and effective. 

What were the problems in the Mont Blanc tunnel?

Entrance to the Mont Blanc Tunnel

There were two main problems: first, neither the French nor the Italians could reliably determine when the real problem arose. Second, even when they realized the problem, they were unable to respond effectively and adequately.

Mont Blanc Tunnel EEIG (European Economic Interest Group) has commissioned Giordano & C, an Italian system integrator, to create a Single Operations Center in the Mont Blanc Tunnel. The solution is called “LOGOS” (an abbreviation of “Localiser Organizer et Gérer les Opérations de Sécurité”, which translated into English means “Find, organize and manage security operations”).

Results: Stratus Technologies and Wonderware by AVEVA

The LOGOS solution has more than 200,000 points. Based on the Wonderware system platform from AVEVA and Stratus Technologies everRun, it is the first SCADA system in the world to meet the EN 61508 SIL (Safety Integrity Level) 2. A single operations center monitors and controls the entire 7.2 km tunnel. It can automatically react when a fire breaks out in tunnels, creating a vortex of currents strong enough to extinguish the flames. This is an elegant solution that not only works, but also completely duplicates.
