Editorial Analysis
European manufacturers and utilities using Siemens ROX II switches face a realistic path to persistent compromise of their operational networks, with NIS2 implications for incident reporting.
Identify all ROX II deployments, apply Siemens mitigations or compensating controls, and segment OT management planes from IT networks.
Zero-day vulnerabilities in Siemens industrial switches could give attackers persistent access to operational technology networks.
