Summary
Hitachi Energy MSM
Notes
Summary

General Mitigation
MSM is not intrinsically designed and intended to be directly connected to the internet. Please disconnect the device from any internet facing network, if any installation has performed the same. Suggest adopting user access management and any state-of-the-art antivirus protection engines equipped with the latest signature rules on the computers that have installed and operating the MSM Client application. As an example, please use the Operating System (OS) inbuilt user access management functionality, if supported, to limit the probabil-ity of unauthorized access followed by rogue commands via MSM Client application.
Also, recommend following the hardening guidelines published by “The Center for Internet Security (CIS)” https://www.cisecurity.org/about-us/ to protect the host Operating System of computers that connects with MSM. This measure would then prevent the lateral movement of the attack vector into MSM via these connected de-vices. Some examples for Windows based computers are listed below.
1) CIS Microsoft Windows Desktop Benchmarks (cisecurity.org)
2) CIS Microsoft Windows Server Benchmarks (cisecurity.org)
Additional general mitigation factors are suggested below.
Recommended security practices and firewall configurations can help protect a network from attacks that originate from outside the network. Such practices include those systems are physically protected from direct access by unauthorized personnel, have no direct connections to the Internet, and are separated from other networks by means of a firewall system that has a minimal number of ports exposed, and others that have to be evaluated case by case. Monitoring systems should not be used for Internet surfing, instant messaging, or receiving e-mails. Portable computers and removable storage media should be carefully scanned for viruses before they are connected. Please also follow the cybersecurity deployment recommendations as document inside section 3.9 of 2GHV045871_2018-P-en-Modular Switchgear Monitoring (MSM) - C.

Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the exploitation risk of these vulnerabilities.
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.
