FIXING FLAWS IN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

摘要

As robotics and other sensors are rolled out across industrial production networks, the corresponding increase in connectivity raises the risk of a cyber attack. In its security analysis, researchers from Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) and the Trend Micro Forward-Looking Threat Research (FTR) Team found that the software running on many devices is often outdated. Additionally, the Trend Micro FTR Team found tens of thousands of industrial devices residing on public IP addresses, further increasing the risk of an attacker accessing them.
