Prevalence and Impact of Password Exposure Vulnerabilities in ICS/OT
13-June-24
Password exposure vulnerabilities in industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) pose significant risks, as seen in recent attacks exploiting weak or default passwords. Experts highlight the prevalence of such flaws due to legacy systems and poor password management practices, emphasizing the need for improved security measures, such as regular updates, encryption, and multi-factor authentication. Ensuring defense in depth and responsible vulnerability disclosures are crucial for protecting critical infrastructure.
