Q&A – Dr. Ryan Heartfield: 3 things to remember when securing your Industrial OT environment

For as long as digital systems have exerted control over physical machines and their output, the need, and associated questions in how to proportionately secure them have existed. Manufacturing, agriculture, critical national infrastructure, and healthcare to name but a few, are all industrial verticals which now more than ever have a considered need for cybersecurity controls to protect their Operational Technology (OT) systems and equipment which interact and impact the physical environment. Historically, in a...

Over 8000 VNC instances left exposed, researchers find

Researchers have discovered 8000 exposed Virtual Network Computing instances, which could put numerous global organisations at risk of remote compromise. As a matter of fact, the instances were managed by critical infrastructure (CNI) organisations, who are responsible for water treatment plants, manufacturing plants and research facilities. With disabled authentication, malicious actors have the ability to hijack certain endpoints and with it, the industrial control systems these may be connected to. This is because VNC is...

Armis discloses critical vulnerability that allows remote takeover of Schneider Electric industrial controllers

Researchers at Armis, the unified asset visibility and security platform provider, have disclosed the discovery of an authentication bypass vulnerability in Schneider Electric’s Modicon programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that can lead to remote-code-execution (RCE). The vulnerability, dubbed Modipwn, allows for a complete takeover of impacted devices by leveraging the UMAS protocol, and impacts Modicon M340, M580 and other models from the Modicon series. Millions of devices use these PLCs and are now deemed to be at...
