Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs
All Versions
In a controversial move, as of January 10, 2023, CISA has announced it will cease updating ICS security advisories concerning vulnerabilities in Siemens products, including the widely used SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs. This decision has raised significant concerns among cybersecurity experts and users alike, who argue it could leave critical infrastructure dangerously exposed to cyberattacks. Experts are calling for increased government responsibility in safeguarding digital security, pointing to the growing threats in the cyber realm.
Starting January 10, 2023, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will enhance its approach to managing ICS security by no longer providing updates on Siemens product vulnerabilities after the initial advisory. This shift encourages companies and individuals to take direct control of their cybersecurity by consulting Siemens' ProductCERT Security for the latest information. This move has been praised for reducing reliance on government oversight, encouraging private sector vigilance, and streamlining government operations.
