Many of the vulnerabilities found on Shodan stem from poor network implementation, OT systems sitting directly on the public internet, shared credentials and weak passwords. Additionally, many of these OT systems are installed on servers and PCs that are old and out of date, that no longer support software updates that would otherwise patch known vulnerabilities. There is a lot that can be done to lock down OT systems by deploying cybersecurity gateways, implementing best practices in access management and password security, layering on SSO and MFA, and agentless remote access. Moving OT systems off legacy hardware to edge of cloud or cloud hosted application environments, with orchestrated secure network tunneling between the buildings and the systems that control them, can also greatly reduce risk.
