A major vulnerability has been found in Schneider Electric’s industrial controller management software that would allow hackers to remotely executie code on industrial networks:
Commenting on this, Mike Ahmadi, global director - critical systems security at Synopsys, said "Security issues in control systems are widespread and continue to grow in numbers as researchers focus on uncovering them. What impresses me most about this story is that Schneider was able to quickly respond to the issues and create an update that addresses the discovered security vulnerabilities. This is a sign of a mature organisation with a solid cybersecurity incident management plan. As someone who has worked with Schneider in the past I know they expend considerable effort in internal cybersecurity vulnerability testing, as well as incident response."
