Level 3: Control Systems (PLCs, RTUs, DCS controllers, SCADA servers)
SCADA/HMI server exposure enabling unauthorized monitoring and control has increased. An adversary leveraging this exposure can inject unauthorized commands into SCADA systems, override operator displays, and manipulate setpoint history. This represents a 100% increase over the prior 14-day baseline (2 vs 1 items).

CrowdStrike identifies five new prompt injection threats to AI | Intel Pattern | Source: CSO Online, Severity: high |
Frangoteam FUXA SCADA/HMI | Intel Pattern | Source: CISA ICS Advisories, Severity: critical |
| Priority | Phase | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate (0-48 hours): | Audit all network-facing interfaces for scada hmi exposure Verify segmentation boundaries (Purdue model compliance) Review IDS/IPS signatures for protocol-specific detection | |
| Short-term (1-2 weeks): | Implement allow-listing for authorized protocol traffic Deploy network monitoring at OT/IT boundary points Update incident response playbooks | |
| Long-term (1-3 months): | Engage with vendor security programs for hardening guidance Implement authenticated industrial protocols where available Deploy unidirectional gateways for critical safety communications |
