Probably one of my #Top 10 #Door Entry products. Why? Because it’s just so simple to #programme & #commission. Available in many different formats, with multiple #call buttons, with or without #code & proximity #access plus different aesthetics. Key point to note if you do install one - just don’t use a #pay as you go #Sim. Because guaranteed, when you will need it most, the credit will have run out. It’s happened to us on our training courses 😂. Speak to Videx Security Ltd or to one of their #representatives or #distributors for pricing. If you would like to learn more how to wire this up along with other Door Entry & Access Control products, join our Access Control Training Course - 2nd - 3rd September.

Sections on Udemy Basic PLC training Flashing PLC firmware is crucial for technicians and engineers as it updates the PLC’s core functions, resolving bugs, enhancing features, and maintaining compatibility with other systems. Key benefits include: 1. Compatibility and Security: Firmware updates keep PLCs compatible with industrial systems and add security patches against cyber threats. 2. Reliability and Performance: Updates fix known issues, ensuring stable and reliable PLC operation. 3. Access to New Features: Firmware updates can unlock new functionalities, enabling enhanced control capabilities. 4. Compliance with Industry Standards: Regular updates align with standards like IEC 61131-3 and ISA/IEC 62443 for security and regulatory compliance. https://lnkd.in/dMYa8-Fy

I’m excited to announce that I’ve developed a new program that can retrieve Micrologix 1400 PLC passwords directly from the controller's memory. This tool is especially useful if you’ve lost or forgotten the password to your PLC. 🔑 Key Highlights: Direct password retrieval from PLC memory. No need for a factory reset. Ideal for recovering lost credentials on legacy systems. If you think this tool could be helpful in your automation environment, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect with fellow professionals in the industrial automation and control systems space. #Automation #IndustrialControl #Programming #CyberSecurity #Troubleshooting #LostPasswordRecovery

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!!! I used SDR (Software Defined Radio) to hack into a car and open it without the car key. A replay attack was used. I captured and stored the code that originates from my key fob and retransmitted the code next to my car, tricking the car into thinking that the legitimate key is sending the signal. Note that while replay attacks can be very dangerous, car manufacturers nowadays use rolling codes to enhance security. With rolling codes, the car tracks previously received codes, ensuring that once a code is used, it cannot be reused. This means that even if an attacker captures a code, they can’t exploit it later, as the vehicle recognizes it as already used. Rolling codes significantly reduce the risk of a replay attack, but they are not perfect. In my case, I used the key fob while I was away from the car, so it did not register the code as a used code.

When you’re running a physical pen test, how many methods will you try? Tailgating? Using a Flipper? If you’re looking to expand into more advanced methods of entry, check out our signature Covert Access Training course where you’ll learn methods such as lock replacement, alarm bypassing, and elicitation.

🔒 #ICS Under Attack: How to Stay Secure 🔒 Recently, we've witnessed a significant rise in attacks targeting Industrial Control Systems, including incidents at the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa [1] and irrigation systems in Israel [2]. ICS manufacturers are responding by releasing numerous patches in a "patch Tuesday" fashion [3], however, in the OT space, having a patch is just the beginning; deploying it can be a complex and time-consuming task. So, how can you reduce your risk of getting hacked? As Rockwell Automation and CISA advises, "Disconnect Devices from the Internet" [4][5]. While this is sound advice, it's challenging to implement since organizations need to monitor and control these systems, often located in remote, hard-to-reach areas. What should defenders do? Place these systems behind a Remote Privileged Access Management (#RPAM) solution like Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations). Cyolo's solution provides Just In Time (#JIT) 1st and 3rd party #SRA, offering agentless access to many OT systems. 🎥 See it in action: Connecting to Rockwell PLC without an agent: https://lnkd.in/gHZTF_Kg Just In Time access via ServiceNow ticketing: https://lnkd.in/gy9tAHqH #CyberSecurity #IndustrialSecurity #OTSecurity #RemoteAccess [1] https://lnkd.in/gZjFTPrQ [2] https://lnkd.in/g6Td_6DB [3] https://lnkd.in/g_W5uRRX [4] https://lnkd.in/gt8tFja7 [5] https://lnkd.in/gmZZBtiz
