Not feeling quite ready to jump right into IR for OT, and want some more foundational knowledge of ICS? My colleague Don Weber will be teaching ICS410 at the same time! This is a great way to get your start in #icscybersecurity. Both courses are full of hands on labs with industrial technologies.

I know some of you have been waiting patiently: @dragosinc has a Principal Industrial Consultant role open in the US (fully remote with onsite travel). This is a great way for a person who has done vertical or government-specific OT cybersecurity to move into more varied OT consulting and join our team. careers.dragos.com/jobs/2118?l #otcybersecurity #ICSCybersecurity #industrial_cybersecurity #cybersecurityjobs

Speaking of #ICSCybersecurity… I think I’ve gotten a lot of followers on social justice and general IT lately. As a little re-intro, what I do for a living is respond to and investigate hacking of critical industrial infrastructure like power, water, manufacturing, and transportation. Stuff that doesn’t look like computers but often is today. I’ve been doing it for over a decade and a half, If that’s ever something you want to know more about, AMA and I’ll do my best to answer your questions.

I’m sorry, but for some reason there are exactly two types of humans in industrial cybersecurity. 95% are mission driven and incredibly fun and kind. 5% are very angry and gatekeepy senior people who want to prevent anyone else from ever contributing to the field. #ICSCybersecurity

I’m not our year in review report, but I’ve definitely noted a fascinating uptick in some specific types of Incident Response in our (all) industrial customers:

1) Structured investigations of already occurred industrial accidents to eliminate or identify computer root cause as part of process.
2) Forensic analyses and clean up of long-term infections and lack of perimeter control of those environments.
3) Follow on investigation of intrusions into IT to eliminate or identify potential overflow to or from OT.

It’s really great to see now’s companies taking these on procedurally and with an understanding of how different IR is in these spaces. #OTcybersecurity #ICSCybersecurity

Happy New Year! Here are the ICS Advisory Project 2023 Annual Summary Slides for CISA ICS Advisories and this week's Other CERT & Vendor vulnerability advisories weekly summary for 25 – 29 December 2023. Attached are 2023's Annual summary slides.

Link to ICS Advisory Project Annual Summary Slides: drive.google.com/file/d/1HYDE_

This past week, CISA did not release any new ICS Advisories. In its place, the ICS[AP] provided a high-level summary of the 380 CISA ICS Advisories released in 2023. Within this summary, you will find a high-level review of the following:

- Total Number of vendors reported in ICS Advisories ranked by country
- Vendors with a high number of critical severity vulnerabilities
- Overview of Vendor & products Affected Global Distribution & Updated CISA Advisories in 2023
- Overview of 2023 CISA ICS Advisories CVE CVSS Vectors by Severity
- Top 10 CWEs identified on MITRE's 2023 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses (MDSW).
- Most reported impacted Critical Infrastructure sectors and by Vendor
- ICS Asset Type metrics
- Total number of CISA ICS Advisories correlated to CISA KEV Catalog
- Mitigation statics based on CISA ICS Advisories recommendations
- Top Independent Vulnerability Researchers and Research Organizations for 2023

ICS[AP] identified 12 new other CERT and vendor products security advisories were released this week for vulnerabilities in the following Vendor products: Moxa (LTE Wireless Gateway & Ethernet remote I/O with 2-port Ethernet switch), Buffalo (Router), Weintek (HMI), and Gallagher (Access Control System). See Weekly Summary of Other Vendor & CERT Advisories for potentially impacted CI sectors.

In my last post, I mentioned some cool things to come in 2023... so let's gooo! 🙌

In my research analyst role at SANS, I'm running a survey through March 28 on OT/ICS visibility-- and I want to hear from the community! We're looking for experts to share their perspective on IT and OT visibility, #industrial organizations and their SOCs, as well as detection capabilities across IT and OT networks. We'll share the findings in a public report released later this year so everyone can leverage the insights to help improve their OT visibility program.

Link to survey ➡ sans.org/u/1pqp

If driving our industry's detection capabilities is not enough incentive for you, don't worry, there's more! All respondents will be entered for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift card for participating!

I'm pleased to announce our new paper has been published! This work discusses a technique, and subsequently presents a proof of concept, for scanning for vulnerabilities within PLC control logic. As I've mentioned through numerous talks and work recently, traditional enterprise focused reconnaissance, enumeration, and vulnerability scanning techniques are inadequate against OT and provide very little information on OT-specific vulnerabilities. This tool goes further than typical network scanning to understand where the control logic itself may have vulnerabilities. Read the paper here:

sciencedirect.com/science/arti

We hope this work is just the first step in tooling to improve the state of in-PLC vulnerabilities and PLC programming practices, greatly reducing the exploitability of OT moving forward.

If I answered some questions about Industrial Control System cybersecurity and cyberattacks during my downtime today, what would you like to know?

Some background - my expertise is in incident response and digital forensic investigation of hacking of infrastructure systems - like power, water, manufacturing, oil and gas, transportation, agriculture, etc. There aren’t a lot of people who specialize in this. My company provides consulting and products to do cybersecurity for weird stuff that powers critical infrastructure like PLCs and SCADA. These networks are quite different than enterprise IT, and doing security in them can be challenging.

My own background is pretty left field as expected, with degrees in Networks, Electronics, and Avionics. I’ve been doing this for a while now. What would you like to know?
