"Global Critical Infrastructure Faces Relentless Cyber Activity"
According to Forescout, Operational Technology (OT) is under constant attack, with key protocols facing many persistent attacks. Many of the attacks involve protocols used in industrial automation and power sectors, such as Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Step7, DNP3, and more. Persistence tactics have increased by 50 percent from 3 percent in 2022. Although most observed commands used by threat actors are still aimed at generic Linux systems, there is a noticeable trend of specific commands executed for network operating systems on widely used routers.
