Siemens is preparing further updates and recommends the following mitigations until patches are available:
- Disable SNMP if this is supported by the product (refer to the product documentation). Disabling SNMP fully mitigates the vulnerability
- Protect network access to Port 161/UDP of affected devices
- Apply cell protection concept
- Use VPN for protecting network communication between cells
- Apply defense-in-depth
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on us-cert.gov. Several recommended practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage on us-cert.gov in the Technical Information Paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
