The study also found that 56% of engineering workstations have at least one unpatched critical severity CVE, and 16% are susceptible to at least one weaponized CVE, published more than 18 months ago. Need for collaboration between OT and IT systems and teamsĮngineering workstations lead the security vulnerabilities listĪrmis’ research found that engineering workstations were the OT device that received the most attempts of attack in the industry in the past two months, followed by SCADA servers.Engineering workstations lead the vulnerability list.Additionally, business impact level and endpoint protections had a weighted influence. SEE: Too many organizations have “shadow” IT (TechRepublic)Īrmis looked at all devices on the Armis Asset Intelligence and Security Platform and identified which types have the highest severity risk factors and/or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). The firm’s Asset Intelligence and Security Platform, which Armis said tracks over three billion assets, found critical vulnerabilities in engineering workstations, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) servers, automation servers, control system historians and programmable logic controllers, which are also the most vulnerable OT and industrial control systems. New data from asset visibility and security firm Armis shows the depth of the problem. The problem isn’t theoretical, given past attacks that exploited critical security vulnerabilities in Windows systems that are used to control OT.

New research on operational technology vulnerabilities by Armis found that 56% of engineering workstations have at least one unpatched critical severity. Engineering PCs, Other Devices Most at Risk for Security Vulnerabilities
