Two recent vulnerabilities, one traditional and one frighteningly unique, could reshape industrial cybersecurity.
In this episode, we’re going to dive into two recently detected vulnerabilities that could have a significant impact on the industrial sector, as they involve two companies with wide-reaching influence on manufacturers of all sizes.
One involves the Siemens Automation License Manager, and the potential threats a vulnerability poses to industrial control system data security for its users.
The second stems from a unique source – a Bosch assembly tool. More specifically, we’re talking about a very popular nutrunner/pneumatic torque wrench that could potentially be exploited by hackers to create extortion campaigns.
We discuss these security challenges with Andrea Palanca, a security researcher at Nozomi Networks, and Eran Jacob from OTORIO.
