Security News > 2020 > November > Manufacturing Sector Targeted by Five ICS-Focused Threat Groups: Report
A report published on Thursday by industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos reveals that the manufacturing sector has been attacked by five threat groups that have been known to target industrial environments.
According to Dragos, the manufacturing sector faces increasing risk of cyberattacks, including attacks whose goal may be to cause disruption to industrial processes and ones aimed at collecting valuable information.
XENOTIME, on the other hand, is the only group known to target the manufacturing industry which does have the capability to launch destructive ICS attacks, as demonstrated by its 2017 attack involving the Trisis/Triton malware.
If threat actors want to target ICS in manufacturing organizations, they have plenty of vulnerabilities that they can exploit to achieve their goals.
The complete report from Dragos, which also includes recommendations for manufacturing entities, is available for download in PDF format.
