Why it matters
The BSI has published a cybersecurity recommendation describing technical measures to secure control systems accessible from the Internet. The recommendation is particularly aimed at operators of smaller industrial facilities and calls for the implementation of practical security measures to significantly reduce the risk of successful cyberattacks. The background is recent cyberattacks that demonstrate the vulnerability of such systems.
