Stuxnet worm: prevention/mitigation White Paper updated
Since mid-July 2010, the team at Byres Security has been working on determining what operators of SCADA and industrial control systems can do to protect their facilities from infection from the Stuxnet worm, which is both complex and dangerous to all control systems.
As a result, the Stuxnet White Paper Analysis of the Siemens WinCC / PCS7 'Stuxnet' Malware for Industrial Control System Professionals has been updated substantially. There is no charge for this white paper, but you must register on the Tofino Security website in order to download it.
In the latest version there is a detailed list of Prevention/Mitigation techniques that can be used to protect computers running both supported Windows operating systems and older unsupported systems that cannot be patched. These mitigations are recommended for all control systems, regardless of whether a Siemens product is used or not.
Other changes in this version of the Stuxnet White Paper include:
- A new summary of what Stuxnet is, what its consequences are and how it is spreading
- A revision to the list of vulnerable systems
- An expanded analysis of the available detection and removal tools
Membership tofinosecurity.com website is free and is required to limit this information to industrial control and security professionals. Follow the link to register and download a copy of the Stuxnet White Paper.
