4. MITIGATIONS
Rockwell Automation has released a security advisory with mitigation steps that
can be found at:
https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1086288 (Login
required)
Rockwell Automation recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the
risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
o Update to the latest available firmware revision that addresses the
associated risk.
o Use trusted software, software patches, anti-virus/anti-malware programs,
and interact only with trusted websites and attachments.
o Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
o Locate control system networks and devices behind firewalls and isolate
them from the business network.
o When remote access is required, use secure methods such as virtual private
networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should
be updated to the most current version available. VPN is only as secure as
the connected devices.
o Employ training and awareness programs to educate users on the warning
signs of a phishing or social engineering attack.
NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
NCCIC also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are available
for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems
Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies .
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available
on the ICS-CERT website in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies .
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to NCCIC for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.
NCCIC also recommends that users take the following measures to protect
themselves from social engineering attacks:
o Do not click web links or open unsolicited attachments in email messages.
o Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on
avoiding email scams.
o Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more
