CISA recommends minimizing network exposure for all control system devices and ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods such as VPNs, recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
