Cold Reality: The Impact of FrostyGoop Modbus Malware Attacks on Connected OT Systems

In the heart of winter, the reliability of our energy and heating systems isn’t just about comfort – it’s a matter of safety and security. This webinar will cover a recent cybersecurity incident where ICS malware targeting Modbus protocols and internet-connected devices within the energy sector were exploited, leading to significant disruptions in heating services during the coldest months. 

Watch as we unpack the details of this attack, exploring how cyber attacks on industrial infrastructure in widely used communication systems can lead to severe real-world consequences. Our experts will discuss the technical mechanics of the attack, the broader implications for the OT community, and essential strategies for enhancing resilience against similar threats. 

Gain insights into: 

• The vulnerabilities inherent in Modbus protocols when interfaced with internet-connected devices. 
• Real-world impacts of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, including energy systems, during peak demand times. 
• Best practices and proactive measures to protect critical energy infrastructure from emerging cyber threats. 

This session is designed for OT asset owners and defenders and anyone interested in understanding the intersection of industrial control systems and cybersecurity.
