Section 52 Releases an Open Source Forensics Tool for Siemens PLCs
The ICS domain has few open-source tools that allow non-experts to investigate their PLCs. Open-source tools are becoming an important diagnostic instrument, and may prevent attackers from succeeding by providing security intelligence to response teams. Microsoft’s Defender for IoT’s security research team, Section 52 is committed to ensuring that our customers are empowered to secure their networks, down to the PLC level, and to developing open-source tools alongside our research efforts. Last month at Security Week’s Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cyber Security Conference held in Atlanta, Georgia, senior researcher Maayan Shaul presented a lecture, “Deep Dive into PLC Ladder Logic Forensics” on how to use our newly released open-source tool to perform proactive incident response in a real-life environment.
