|
WHAT: |
Imagine an attack on critical infrastructures that could evade virtually all existing security measures, including network firewalls, AV, application whitelisting, etc., and generically affect SCADA implementations in multiple industries. In this session, ICS security expert Mille Gandelsman will discuss a vulnerability discovered by Indegy researchers in a widely used Schneider Electric software application that would enable just such an attack. He will explain: | |||
| -- Why the vulnerable software tool is present in every ICS network in the world that uses Schneider-Electric controllers | ||||
| -- How the vulnerability allows for remote code execution in Schneider Electric’s flagship Unity Pro software platform | ||||
| -- What makes this vulnerability a threat across virtually any industrial sector | ||||
| -- The shortcomings of IT and ICS security measures that make external threats like this almost impossible to detect and protect against | ||||
