What
“2024 Trends in Critical ICS Exposures”

Description
In the modern automotive ecosystem, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are essential for the manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of connected vehicle infrastructure. However, as ICS networks expand and increasingly connect to broader networks, they become susceptible to cybersecurity threats. In this session, Censys shares insights into the current landscape of ICS exposures across multiple interconnected sectors, including automotive, manufacturing, electricity, and oil and natural gas. In this new research, Censys identified common ICS protocols, misconfigurations, and attack surfaces that can be exploited by threat actors to gain unauthorized access, disrupt operations, or introduce malicious code. This session also offers actionable insights for reducing ICS exposure, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and enhancing the resilience of the automotive sector.
