AutomationDirect recommends that users update CLICK PLUS and firmware to V3.80. https://www.automationdirect.com/support/software-downloads If the update cannot be applied right away, the following compensating controls are recommended until the upgrade can be performed: * Network Isolation – Disconnect the CLICK PLUS PLC from external networks (e.g., the internet or corporate LAN) to reduce exposure. * Secure Communications – Use only trusted, dedicated internal networks or air-gapped systems for device communication. * Access Control – Restrict both physical and logical access to authorized personnel only. * Application Whitelisting – Configure whitelisting so that only trusted, pre-approved applications are allowed to run. Block any unauthorized software. * Endpoint Protection – Use antivirus or EDR tools and configure host-based firewalls to block unauthorized access attempts. * Logging & Monitoring – Enable and regularly review system logs to detect suspicious or unauthorized activity. * Backup & Recovery – Maintain secure, tested backups of the PLC and its configurations to minimize downtime in case of an incident. * Ongoing Risk Assessment – Continuously evaluate risks associated with running outdated firmware and adjust compensating measures accordingly.
