Remediations
- Update to V2.9.2 or later version
- Update to V21.9 or later version
- Currently no remediation is available
- Update to V4.5.0 or later version
- Update to V4.0 or later version
- Apply password protection for S7 communication
- Disallow client connections via the ENDIS_PW instruction of the S7-1200 or S7-1500 CPU (This blocks remote client connections, even when the client can provide the correct password)
- Use the display to configure additional access protection of the S7-1500 CPU (This blocks remote client connections, even when the client can provide the correct password)
- Apply "defense in depth" as outlined on pages 12ff of the operational guidelines for Industrial Security, especially: - Plant security: Physical prevention of access to critical components - Network security: Ensure that PLC systems are not connected to untrusted networks * System integrity: Configure, maintain and protect your device by applying applicable compensating controls and using built-in security capabilities
- Update your entire solution to TIA Portal V17 and use TLS communication using individual certificates between PLC, HMIs and PG/PC
