Just Released - Dragos's 2022 ICS/OT Cybersecurity Year in Review Is Now Available
Summary: Dragos released its sixth annual ICS/OT Cybersecurity Year in Review, reporting 605 ransomware attacks against industrial organizations in 2022, an 87 percent increase over the prior year, with manufacturing taking 72 percent of them. The report also covers PIPEDREAM, the seventh known ICS-specific malware and the first scalable, cross-industry ICS attack framework, attributed to the newly identified CHERNOVITE threat group alongside a second new group, BENTONITE.
What you should know: Dragos found 80 percent of its service engagements still lacked visibility across OT networks, and 53 percent had external connections from OEMs, IT networks, or the Internet reaching the OT network - the same exposure path ransomware and groups like BENTONITE use for initial access.
