Marc Rogers, internationally-renowned ‘white hat’ hacker and member of the U.S. Ransomware Taskforce, has joined Q-Net Security as Chief Security Officer (CSO). Rogers has been a key figure in the world of information security since the late 1980s, both as an ethical hacker and as a cybersecurity expert. He brings specialized and vast security knowledge to Q-Net, a company that designs cybersecurity solutions for defense and critical infrastructure, such as utilities and communications networks.

LTE networks are an important component of modern utility systems, but they remain vulnerable to hacking, as a recent study by Checkpoint Research shows. In that study, they discovered a simple method to compromise the UNISOC chipset, which represents 11% of the global LTE market. This is concerning, especially for companies with facilities in Africa and Asia (two major growth areas) where this chipset is popular due to its price advantage over competitors such as MediaTek, Qualcomm and Apple.

ST. LOUIS, MO – Q-Net Security, an innovative cybersecurity company headquartered in St Louis, MO, is pleased to announce the addition of a new member to its advisory board. The new board member, Dennis P. Gilbert, Jr., is the President of Vector9 Consultants and has 35 years of leadership experience in cybersecurity, technology, strategic planning, and risk management across both the private and public sectors. He brings to Q-Net Security significant experience in protecting critical infrastructure.

"When you think about how connected our world is and how much rely on the automated systems for our day to day lives to provide us power, to provide us clean water, that`s very scary," Johnathan Mell, Operations and Marketing Strategist at St. Louis-based Q-Net Security, told KMOX.

These devices, currently available from companies like Intel partner Q-Net Security allow the creation of internal networks which are invulnerable to malware attacks… because they run on chips which contain no software.

Cybersecurity experts say that a software-free technology designed by St Louis company Q-Net Security could be the solution to securing against the Log4j vulnerability.

Following a wave of disruptive cyberattacks on US infrastructure, the strongest commercially-available cybersecurity hardware - developed by Missouri-based Q-Net Security – is being made more accessible to US civilian consumers.

The six founding members of the cyber collective are Mandiant, Onclave Networks, PacketViper, Q-Net Security, Qubitekk, and Sierra Nevada Corporation.

US Military hardware developed by Q-Net Security is now being made available to US civilian consumers in response to the rapid increase in cyberattacks. Experts hope the new plug-and-play technology will be quickly rolled out to help repel cyberattackers from targeting US civilian infrastructure—attacks which happened in recent months to both Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods.

US Military hardware developed by Q-Net Security is now being made available to US civilian consumers in response to the rapid increase in cyberattacks. Experts hope the new plug-and-play technology will be quickly rolled out to help repel cyberattackers from targeting US civilian infrastructure—attacks which happened in recent months to both Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods.

A tech company named Q-Net, located in St. Louis, Missouri, has developed an elegant engineering solution to the security problem for closed (non-public) networks.

That's why the cutting-edge Q-Box device got the U.S. military’s attention. Q-Net Security now has contracts with the U.S. Army and Air Force.

You can’t attack what you can’t see, and cloaking technology for devices on Ethernet LANs is merely one of many protection layers implemented in Q-Net Security’s Q-Box to protect networked devices and transaction between these devices from cyberattacks. Other security technologies built into the Q-Box include encryption, authentication, and the use of different, randomly generated security keys created just in time for each transaction – called JITKeys – with no external key management.

Secondly, companies need to be aware that there are numerous approaches to cybersecurity. It’s not the same old game where you simply tell people to have better password hygiene and you buy an off-the-shelf firewall. Hackers and cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever before; our responses need to be more sophisticated as well. As a ...

Innovative cybersecurity leader Q-Net Security (QNS) teamed up with product engineer and manufacturer Custom Technologies to develop and manufacture the next generation of hardware security (hardsec) devices. QNS will be using its novel “quantum compute resistant” network devices, better known as “Q-Boxes,” which can deliver unprecedented network data security even against the most sophisticated forms of cyberattacks. They also offer protection on a previously unattainable level, even with nation-level encryption technologies.

“...the idea of hardwiring security into a device, which cannot be changed, modified, or circumvented, is a new idea and one that we certainly are very excited about at Q-Net Security.”

Recently, a successful ransomware cyberattack occurred that forced the Colonial Pipeline, the largest gasoline and diesel pipeline delivery system in the U.S., to take its systems and pipelines offline. This disaster, however, was entirely preventable.

Innovative cybersecurity leader Q-Net Security (QNS) teamed up with product engineer and manufacturer Custom Technologies to develop and manufacture the next generation of hardware security (hardsec) devices.

On the other hand, Custom Technologies is a full-spectrum engineering and manufacturing company with years of expertise from business logistics to actual product manufacturing. The tech company, based in Missouri, will be responsible for all of the machining, testing, and assembly work required to manufacture the next batch of Q-boxes. The next-level hardsec solution will be built at its Brentwood manufacturing facility, allowing QNS to focus on the product design and development at its St. Louis facility.

Despite its growing technology scene, St. Louis isn’t known as a place where high-tech hardware is made. A small black box, designed and sold by one local company and assembled by another, may change that.

Following an announcement made by Q-Net Security, the innovative cybersecurity company has entered into a partnership with Custom Technologies. As part of the partnership the two plan to manufacture and distribute next generation ‘hardsec’ (hardware security) cryptography devices.

According to Dr. Ronald Indeck… ”none of the software-based systems are provably secure. If anything, cybercriminals can easily compromise such systems using malware programs such as virtual rootkits”

The recent reports of hacks such as SolarWind and Maze ransomware successfully striking computer networks belonging to Federal agencies and Fortune 500 companies highlight the continuing vulnerability of current software-based approaches to securing critical networks.

Secure data at rest. It’s important to make sure that user and other critical data is protected even if it isn’t moving. One way to do this is with regular backups, encrypted drives, and good passwords. It’s also important to lock down endpoints, making sure data STAYS at rest, by denying computers access by default […]

Secure data at rest. It’s important to make sure that user and other critical data is protected even if it isn’t moving. One way to do this is with regular backups, encrypted drives, and good passwords. It’s also important to lock down endpoints, making sure data STAYS at rest, by denying computers access by default to resources they don’t need. This is a combination of a couple principles that are too lengthy to describe here, but involve the theory of “zero-trust” as well as “micro-segmenting” your network.
