Forescout report warns of growing security risks to critical infrastructure as OT/ICS exposed data escalates

Better Safe than Sorry: Internet-Exposed OT/ICS Devices (Forescout)

This research examines the evolution of exposed OT/ICS data from 2017 to 2024, identifying regions and device types where exposure remains a risk despite reductions. It analyzes three recent incidents, the Unitronics attack wave, the exposure of Schneider Electric Modicon and Wago 750 PLCs. Additionally, it explores the exposure of devices using the Nucleus NET and NicheStack TCP/IP stacks
