With their ability to carry malware into sensitive environments, USB drives have long been a red flag for industrial facilities. A new study puts hard data behind those concerns and shows how the drives can propagate advanced threats like Stuxnet and Trisis. Of the 50 industrial sites on four continents where Honeywell International analyzed USB usage, 44 percent of sites detected and blocked at least one malicious file. These weren’t just run-of-the-mill files: 15 percent of the threats detected and blocked were infamous malware packages like Stuxnet and Trisis (2 percent each), Mirai (6 percent) and WannaCry (1 percent). About a quarter of the threats blocked could cause “a major disruption to an industrial control environment,” according to Honeywell, an industrial automation giant. The overall volume of USB-based malware found by Honeywell researchers was relatively small, but the types of threats detected were more serious than researchers had anticipated. “It’s […]

As old-school industries like oil and gas increasingly network entities like oil platforms, they become more vulnerable to hacking attacks that were impossible when they were stand-alone. That requires a new approach to security and Xage (pronounced Zage), a security startup that launched last year thinks it has the answer with a concept called ‘fingerprinting’ […] Continue reading Xage introduces fingerprinting to protect industrial IoT devices
