Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Compensating control

    Properly segment ICS/SCADA networks within the process structure and from the Internet and other non-essential networks to ensure a cyber actor would require network connectivity to the communication module to exploit the vulnerability.

  2. Compensating control

    Implement detection signatures by using appended Snort signatures to monitor and detect anomalous Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) packets to Rockwell Automation devices.
