Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. For more information on this vulnerability and the associated upgrade, please see Schneider Electric's SEVD-2019-344-01 For more details and assistance on how to protect during installation, please contact a Schneider Electric representative and/or Schneider Electric Industrial Cybersecurity Services . These organizations are aware of this situation and can support you through the process. CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should: 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 remote 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. Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on us-cert.gov . 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 webpage on us-cert.gov 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 CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability. - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
