TEL AVIV, Israel and SINGAPORE, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OTORIO, the leading provider of operational technology (OT) cyber and digital risk management solutions, today announced that three significant industrial cellular router vendors have vulnerabilities in their cloud management platforms that expose customers' operational networks to external attack. This raises questions about the safety of connecting OT to the cloud and suggests a need for standard industry regulations to eliminate such security risks.

Key Points: 
  • An industrial cellular router allows multiple devices to connect to the internet from a cellular network.
  • Vendors of these devices employ cloud platforms to provide customers with remote management, scalability, analytics and security.
  • "As the deployment of IIoT devices becomes more popular, it's important to be aware that their cloud management platforms may be targeted by threat actors," said Gavrilov.
  • One serious issue affecting all three vendors is that their platforms expose devices that have not been configured to use the cloud.
