Recommended Practices

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability such as:

Recommended Practices

Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.

Recommended Practices

Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.

Recommended Practices

When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

Recommended Practices

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

Recommended Practices

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
