Details of Year in Review

●     Industrial Controls System Vulnerabilities Report:The Dragos Intelligence team provides analysis of the ICS-specific vulnerabilities from 2018 and provides impacts, risks, and mitigation options. In 2018, Dragos tracked 204 public vulnerability advisories with an impact on ICS. 68% of advisories covered network-exploitable vulnerabilities, yet only 28% of these network-exploitable advisories provided mitigation advice sufficient to take effective action.

●     ICS Activity Groups and the Threat Landscape Report:The Dragos Intelligence team provides insights into threat activity groups actively targeting industrial organizations and provides details of their activity, methodology, victimology, and future concerns. The Dragos Intelligence team has tracked three new ICS activity groups since 2017 and identified a growing trend of adversaries using open source or commercially-available penetration testing tools to pivot from IT networks to ICS networks.

●     Lessons Learned from Hunting and Responding to Industrial Intrusions Report:

The Dragos Threat Operations Center (TOC) provides a synopsis of lessons learned while proactively hunting for adversaries in industrial environments and responding to intrusions. In 2018, 37% of Dragos’ incident response engagements involved an initial vector dating over 365 days, while all other engagements were either inconclusive or detected and contained by facility teams and Dragos as they occurred.
