We highly recommend OT administrators implement these mitigations, especially changing any default passwords, to improve their cybersecurity posture and reduce their system’s vulnerability to this type of targeting.

Looking forward to attending RSA - let me know what's a 'can't miss' for this year. If you're attending, join me on May 8 @ 9:40am PT for 'State of the Hack 2024: NSA's Perspectives' as we dive into the latest hot topics in cyber.
