Enforce Access Controls: <strong>Cyber</strong>attacks like the Oldsmar water treatment plant hack take<br />

advantage of poor access controls. Access to these systems should be restricted based on the<br />

principle of least privilege and use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help prevent unauthorized<br />

access.<br />

Apply Updates Promptly: Many cyberattacks against cyber-physical systems also take<br />

advantage of unpatched vulnerabilities in these devices. Regularly testing and applying updates<br />

can help mitigate the impact of security issues in these devices.<br />

Use Real-Time Protection: Real-time protection solutions run on a device and attempt to identify<br />

and block attacks against it. This approach can also help lessen the impact of unpatched devices<br />

on enterprise cybersecurity.<br />

As the world becomes ever more connected, cyber-physical threats will increase in tandem. It is vital to<br />

understand how to incorporate these systems with sound cybersecurity strategies to minimize their cyber<br />

risks.<br />
