What to do

Solution: AutomationDirect recommends that users do the following: * Update the Productivity Suite programming software to version 4.5.0.x or higher. * Update the firmware of Productivity PLCs to the latest version. https://www.automationdirect.com/support/software-downloads * Although automation networks and systems come equipped with built-in password protection mechanisms, this represents a fraction of the security measures needed to safeguard these systems. * It is imperative that automation control system networks integrate data protection and security measures that match, if not exceed, the robustness of conventional business computer systems. * AutomationDirect advises users of PLCs, HMI products, and SCADA systems to conduct a thorough network security analysis to ascertain the appropriate level of security necessary for their specific application.

Workaround: AutomationDirect has identified the following mitigations for instances where systems cannot be upgraded to the latest version: * Physically disconnect the PLC from any external networks, including the internet, local area networks (LANs), and other interconnected systems. * Configure network segmentation to isolate the PLC from other devices and systems within the organization. * Implement firewall rules or network access control (NAC) policies to block incoming and outgoing traffic to the PLC. * Please refer to AutomationDirect's security considerations https://support.automationdirect.com/docs/securityconsiderations.pdf  for additional information. * If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact AutomationDirect Technical Support at 770-844-4200 or 800-633-0405 for further assistance.
