Security News > 2020 > February > Over 400 ICS Vulnerabilities Disclosed in 2019: Report
More than 400 vulnerabilities affecting industrial control systems were disclosed in 2019 and over a quarter of them had no patches when their existence was made public, according to a report published on Thursday by industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos.
Dragos analyzed 438 ICS vulnerabilities covered in 212 security advisories, roughly the same as in the previous year.
According to Dragos, 77% of the advisories published last year covered vulnerabilities in systems typically located deep within a control system network.
The cybersecurity firm said half of the vulnerabilities disclosed in 2019 could have led to both loss of view and loss of control.
In addition to its ICS vulnerabilities report, Dragos on Thursday published two other reports describing threat groups and the landscape, and lessons learned from threat hunting and incident response.
