CISA Warns of Vulnerabilities in Rockwell Automation Micro800

A critical security advisory from CISA highlights a vulnerability in Rockwell Automation’s Micro800 controllers. The issue stems from a compromised third-party component, creating a potential remote exploit pathway (CVSS v4 9.3). It’s a stark reminder that supply chain security is paramount in operational technology. 🔒 This isn't simply an IT concern; vulnerabilities in PLCs like the Micro800 can have real-world industrial consequences. Understanding your system dependencies and staying current on security patches – even for embedded components – is crucial for mitigating risk. ICS teams should review the advisory details and assess potential impact on their environments. Prioritization will depend on network segmentation and exposure, but proactive investigation is key. Have you encountered similar third-party component vulnerabilities in your industrial control systems? I’d be interested to hear your experiences and approaches to managing this evolving threat landscape. ➡️ [https://lnkd.in/gjHy99B6) #ICSsecurity #OTsecurity #RockwellAutomation #Cybersecurity #IndustrialControlSystems #VulnerabilityManagement #CISA

🚨 New ICS Advisories Issued by CISA! 🛡️💻 CISA has released a new set of Industrial Control Systems ICS advisories, highlighting critical vulnerabilities that defenders need to know about. 🔍 Here’s a quick breakdown of the key points: • The advisories address multiple vulnerabilities across various industrial systems, including those from major vendors like Mitsubishi Electric and Phoenix Contact. • These flaws could allow attackers to execute remote code, cause denial-of-service conditions, or gain unauthorized access to sensitive operational technology OT networks. • CISA emphasizes the importance of implementing mitigations immediately, such as segmenting networks, using secure remote access methods, and applying vendor-provided patches where available. • The announcement underscores the ongoing targeting of critical infrastructure and the need for heightened vigilance in the OT environment. This proactive release is a crucial reminder that the convergence of IT and OT expands the attack surface. How is your organization prioritizing the security of its industrial control systems to prevent disruptive attacks? #Cybersecurity #ICSsecurity #CISA #OTsecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #VulnerabilityManagement #InfoSec #ThreatIntelligence Link:https://lnkd.in/dAtsUCSX #cybersecurity #infosec

Secure by Demand... Priority considerations for OT asset owners and operators Here is a document listing Priority considerations for OT owners and operators when selecting digital products CISA and partners warn that cyber threat actors, when compromising OT components, target specific OT products rather than specific organizations. Many OT products are nt designed and developed with Secure by Design principles and commonly have weaknesses such as weak authentication, known software vulnerabilities, limited logging, insecure default settings and passwords, and insecure legacy protocols. When security is not prioritized, nor incorporated directly onto OT products, it is difficult and costly for owners and operators to defend their OT assets against the compromise.  This secure by demand guide authored by CISA with contribution from many partners describe how OT owners and operators should integrate security into their procurement process when purchasing industrial automation and control systems as well as other OT products.  #cybersecurity #otsecurity #icssecurity #securebydesign #risk 

Industrial Cyber Risk Isn’t Just IT’s Problem, It’s an OT Reality Ransomware and OT-targeted threats are rising fast, yet many plants and critical infrastructure operators still struggle with the basics. The IT/OT culture gap only makes progress harder. Here’s a pragmatic starting point: 1-Know your assets. Build and maintain a live OT inventory. You cannot protect what you do not see. 2-Engineer segmentation. Design zones and conduits that minimize the blast radius while keeping uptime intact. 3-Right-size access. Combine physical controls with operator-friendly authentication, and lock down removable media. 4-Plan to respond. Incident response should be tied to downtime cost and real OT scenarios, not just IT playbooks. 5-Monitor continuously. Use fit-for-purpose OT monitoring and strengthen trust between Operations and IT. Progress begins where engineering meets security. Start with one control, implement it well, and build from there. #CyberSecurity #OTSecurity #ICSSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #Manufacturing #Ransomware #IndustrialCyberSecurity #OperationalTechnology #CISOTalk #Resilience

Ransomware is no longer just an IT problem — it’s an OT crisis. 🚨 Operational Technology (OT) systems, powering industries like manufacturing, oil & gas, and power plants, often run on decades-old technology. ⚡ Rarely patched ⚡ Difficult to upgrade ⚡ Costly downtime — sometimes millions lost in just one hour This makes them an easy target for ransomware attacks. 👉 The takeaway: OT security is not optional anymore — it’s business survival. What steps do you think industries should prioritize first — patch management, Zero Trust, or secure remote access? 🤔 #OTSecurity #CyberSecurity #Ransomware #CriticalInfrastructure #Industry40 #RiskManagement

Production lines create unique ransomware challenges most security assessments miss. OT/IT convergence means your manufacturing systems are increasingly connected to business networks. But industrial control systems weren't designed with cybersecurity in mind. The scary reality: Many HMI systems run outdated Windows versions Production networks often lack basic security monitoring Operational staff may not recognize cybersecurity threats Downtime costs can exceed $100,000 per hour A ransomware attack doesn't just encrypt files – it can halt entire production operations. Manufacturing ransomware readiness requires specialized assessment of both business systems and production environments. #ManufacturingCybersecurity #IndustrialSecurity #ProductionSecurity #OceanSolutions Protect your production: https://hubs.la/Q03DVtfF0
