5G: Until recently, OT (Operational Technology) infrastructures were designed as isolated, shielded environments, disconnected from the corporate network - with the result that cybersecurity has not received much attention. With the advancement of an ever more networked factory, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the latest 5G mobile communications standard, companies can no longer avoid implementing security concepts for their production facilities that are equivalent to those they already do in the classic IT environment. In principle, the integration of new technologies always entails potential security risks. Private 5G is safe - isn't it?...

Claroty's Team82 security researchers discover new attack techniques against industrial plants: Evil PLC attack. PLCs – programmable logic controllers – or programmable logic controllers (PLCs) can trigger engineering workstations to run malicious code to manipulate processes or run ransomware. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are essential industrial devices that regulate manufacturing processes in all critical infrastructure areas. This makes them an interesting target for cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers, such as the Stuxnet attack on Iran's nuclear program. Security researchers at Team82, the research arm of cyber-physical systems (CPS) security specialist Claroty, have now been able to prove that industrial control systems are not…
