Dateline Moscow and Kyiv: Russian preparations for cyberattacks against the energy sector.

Ukraine at D+49: Exchanges of kinetic fire, and preparation for cyberattacks against ICS/SCADA. (The CyberWire) Ukraine says it’s hit the guided missile cruiser Moskva with anti-ship missiles. The US warns of Russian preparations for cyberattacks against ICS and SCADA systems (and both government and industry have published details on the tools they’ve found). On the ground, Russia continues to resort to heavy and indiscriminate fires as it seeks to reduce cities in the Donbas and along the Black Sea coast.

Government warns hackers targeting industrial control devices with new tools

/in


The U.S. government today issued a new warning that advanced persistent threat actors have exhibited the capability to gain full system access to multiple industrial control systems and supervisory control and data acquisition devices using custom-made tools.

The joint advisory issued by the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation details tools targeting specific systems. The tools enable the threat actors to scan for, compromise and control affected devices once access has been established in the operational technology network.

The custom-made tools do not stop at OT environments. They can also compromise Windows-based engineering systems that may be present in information technology or OT environments. The attacks typically compromise an ASRock motherboard driver with known vulnerabilities. The outcome of targeting both Window and OT networks could be the ability to disrupt critical devices or functions.

The alert notes that the custom tools have been found to be able to scan, compromise and control certain ICS and SCADA devices, including:

  • Schneider Electric MODICON and MODICON Nano PLCs, including but potentially not be limited to TM251, TM241, M258, M238, LMC058, and LMC078;
  • OMRON Sysmac NJ and NX PLCs, including but also potentially not be limited to NEX NX1P2, NX-SL3300, NX-ECC203, NJ501-1300, S8VK, and R88D-1SN10F-ECT; and
  • OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) servers.

All organizations with ICS and SCADA devices are recommended to implement mitigations in an effort to protect systems. These include isolating those systems and networks from corporate and internet networks, enforcing multifactor authentication for all remote access and changing passwords on all those devices and systems on a consistent schedule.

Organizations are recommended to have a cybersecurity incident response plan and exercise it regularly and maintain known-good offline backups for faster recovery should an attack occur.

Security experts say that the warning is serious. Tim Erlin, vice president of strategy at cybersecurity and compliance solutions company Tripwire…

Element Announces Element Unify Integration with AWS IoT SiteWise to Enable Condition-based Monitoring for Industrial Customers | Business

/in


SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun 9, 2021–

Element, a leading software provider in IT/OT data management for industrial companies, today announced a new offering featuring an API integration between its Element Unify product and AWS IoT SiteWise, a managed service from Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), that makes it easy to collect, store, organize, and monitor data from industrial equipment at scale. The API integration is designed to give customers the ability to centralize plant data model integration and metadata management, enabling data to be ingested into AWS services, including AWS IoT SiteWise and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) industrial data lake.

Available in AWS Marketplace, the Element Unify AWS IoT Sitewise API integration is designed to allow engineers and operators to monitor operations across facilities, quickly compute performance metrics, create applications that analyze industrial equipment data to prevent costly equipment issues, and reduce gaps in production.

“We are looking forward to bridging the on-premises data models we’ve built for systems like OSIsoft PI to AWS for equipment data monitoring using Element Unify,” said Philipp Frenzel, Head of Competence Center Digital Services at Covestro.

Element also announced its ISO 27001 certification proving both the security controls protect customer data and the Information Security Management System (ISMS) provide governance, risk management, and controls required for modern SaaS applications. Element Unify also supports AWS PrivateLink to provide an additional level of network security and control for customers.

“Our customers are looking for solutions that can help them improve equipment uptime, avoid revenue loss, cut O&M costs, and improve safety,” said Prabal Acharyya, Global Head of IoT Partners for Energy at AWS. “Now, the Industrial Machine Connectivity (IMC) on AWS initiative, along with Element Unify, makes possible a seamless API integration of both real-time and asset context OT data from multiple systems into an industrial data lake on AWS.”

Industrial customers need the ability to digitally transform to maximize productivity and asset availability,…
