It’s no secret that hacked vital infrastructure may endanger lives, shut down businesses, and cost millions of dollars in lost income and brand harm. Unfortunately, attacks on key infrastructure are not slowing down. Consider Winery, NotPetya, Black Energy, and now Grey Energy, the malware’s successor. Furthermore, it is commonly known that most ICS systems rely on legacy, older infrastructure, making it difficult to upgrade the system or install an agent on the device. When it comes to the electricity grid or a water plant, there is no room for system downtime, therefore fixing vulnerabilities becomes incredibly challenging. Furthermore, as Internet of Things use grows, IT and OT (operational technology) networks are fast converging, making formerly separated systems even more vulnerable to harmful assaults.
