• Place all controllers in locked cabinets and never leave them in the “Program” mode.
• Never connect programming software to any network other than the network for the devices it is intended for.
• Scan all methods of mobile data exchange with the isolated network such as CDs, USB drives, etc., before use in the terminals or any node connected to these networks.
• Never allow mobile devices that have connected to any other network besides the intended network to connect to the safety or control networks without proper sanitation.
• Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and systems and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet.
• When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also, recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices.
