One of the three pathways Stuxnet uses to infect other computers is via the Local Area Network communications inside the control system (the other two are via infected USB drives and via infected Siemens project files).
This blog post addresses how to restrict network-driven infections using the Tofino Industrial Security Solution as the example product for mitigation. Tofino is our own product, so you know where my bias is. However, no matter what technology is deployed, the concepts I will talk about are the same.

In last week’s post, I mentioned that Eric Cornelius gave a very interesting talk at last week’s ICSJWG meetings. Cornelius works for INL (Idaho National Labs) and they are doing Stuxnet research for the US Government.
I want to highlight some of Cornelius’ comments, as well as other themes that came up that are important for the average SCADA / ICS system engineer or manager.
