"Operational Technology Leaves Itself Open to Cyberattack"

Team82 security researchers at Claroty highlight that the uncontrolled use of Remote Access Tools (RATs) threatens Operational Technology (OT). According to the researchers, 55 percent of organizations have four or more RATs, and 33 percent use six or more. The team analyzed data from over 50,000 remote access-enabled devices. They found that businesses used non-enterprise-grade tools on OT network devices. These tools lack basic security features such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and privilege access management. Therefore, using these tools may give cybercriminals easy access to OT systems and larger enterprise networks. This article continues to discuss Team82's findings shared in the report "The Problem with Remote Access Sprawl."
