Isolated air gap networks for KRITIS are vulnerable
Even isolated networks for KRITIS are not safe from attacks or data theft. ESET researchers are investigating special malicious programs that target so-called "air gap" networks. Critical and sensitive infrastructures must be particularly well protected against hackers. One possibility is the use of so-called "air gap" networks. These are used, for example, in industrial control systems that manage pipelines and power grids or dial-up or SCADA systems that control nuclear centrifuges, among other things. These systems are not directly connected to the internet. This complete isolation of a device or system from the Internet and other networks should ...
