Insecure by Design in the Backbone of Critical Infrastructure

In a paper titled “Insecure by Design in the Backbone of Critical Infrastructure”, security researchers at Forescout and Prof. Mohammad Ghafari, reported 53 confirmed vulnerabilities in Operational Technology (OT) products. They show that “despite a decade of efforts in improving OT security, the OT install base is still suffering from insecure-by-design issues even for products that are security certified”. This work will be presented during CPS-IoT week on May 9 in Texas, USA.
