Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the exploitation risk of this vulnerability.
Recommended Practices
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the internet.
Recommended Practices
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate 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 recent version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its 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. 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.
Recommended Practices
CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Recommended Practices
Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
General Recommendations
Operators of critical power systems (e.g. TSOs) worldwide are usuallyrequired by regulations to build resilience into the power grids byapplying multi-level redundant secondary protection schemes. It istherefore recommended that the operators check whether appropriateresilient protection measures are in place. The risk of cyber incidentsimpacting the grid's reliability can thus be minimized by virtue of thegrid design.
General Recommendations
Siemens strongly recommends applying the provided security updates usingthe corresponding tooling and documented procedures made available withthe product. If supported by the product, an automated means to applythe security updates across multiple product instances may be used.
General Recommendations
Siemens strongly recommends prior validation of any security updatebefore being applied, and supervision by trained staff of the updateprocess in the target environment.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends to protectnetwork access with appropriate mechanisms (e.g. firewalls,segmentation, VPN). It is advised to configure the environment accordingto our operational guidelines in order to run the devices in a protectedIT environment.
