The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Wednesday said threat groups are still exploiting vulnerable devices in various industrial targets — including water utilities — that are practicing weak cyber hygiene. Exposed and vulnerable industrial control systems and operational technology environments can be hacked using unsophisticated methods, such as brute-force attacks and taking advantage of systems using default passwords, […]

The robotics revolution continues to unfold, but a silent threat lurks — cybersecurity. Cybercriminals prey on manufacturers with gaps in their security, and the consequences are dire. Manufacturers must bridge this security gap before robots become easy targets for hackers.  Blind Spots in the Factory: Why Robot Security Lags Behind Industrial robots are changing manufacturing, […]

Multiple critical security vulnerabilities in automatic-tank-gauge (ATG) systems, some unpatched, threaten critical-infrastructure facilities with disruption and physical damage, researchers are warning. ATGs are sensor systems that monitor and manage fuel storage tanks to ensure that fill levels aren’t too low or too high, to see that leaks are detected in real-time, and to manage inventory. […]
