Modbus Security Issues and How to Mitigate Cyber Risks
Modbus is a commonly used protocol for industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA systems, and operational technology (OT), and is used to establish communication between various devices in a network. Because Modbus-based industrial systems were deployed in isolated (air-gapped) environments, Modbus was designed for reliability, availability, and speed – not security. Therefore, the millions of Modbus…
