CERN PLCs fail cyber testing (cross posted from Soundoff!!)

    Aug. 26, 2008
    Team Lead Stefan Lueders reports in the current edition of The Industrial Ethernet Book that only 66% of CERN's PLCs passed NESSUS testing, while only 74% passed Netwox testing. These are very high failure rates when you consider that these PLCs are in industrial control systems in a testing laboratory for the nuclear industry. Read the article
