2020 ICS Cybersecurity Year in Review
Summary: Dragos published its fourth annual ICS Cybersecurity Year in Review, reporting that analysts uncovered four new ICS Activity Groups in 2020 - KAMACITE, STIBNITE, TALONITE, and VANADINITE - primarily targeting energy and manufacturing, while the 11 groups identified before 2020 expanded into new sectors and regions. Dragos analyzed 703 ICS/OT vulnerabilities in 2020, a 23% increase over the prior year, with 43% of advisories containing errors and many released with no patch or alternate mitigation advice.
What's compelling: Fifteen tracked ICS activity groups were active against industrial targets in a single year, and nearly half of the vulnerability advisories defenders rely on for triage contained errors - while most organizations Dragos worked with still could not see their own OT networks well enough to detect abnormal activity.
