Control supply chain risk

The use of connected devices and systems in our utilities and other critical infrastructure is increasing as organizations undergo a digital transformation. A rise in cyber attacks on the energy sector has led to an uptick in regulations surrounding the software and firmware supply chains for these systems. Most manufacturers do not have the tools to address product and supply chain risk at scale, and are instead relying on vendor assessments and manual testing which can be costly and provide limited information.

Finite State’s automated platform gives OT and ICS manufacturers visibility and control over their product and supply chain risk, providing security teams with the data and guidance to rapidly address security risks and ensure compliance to industry regulations and standards.

Known Vulnerabilities (CVEs)

Known vulnerabilities often exist for years in firmware code, leaving potential backdoors open to black hats or even nation-state level attackers.

Common Weaknesses (CWEs)

CWEs are software and hardware vulnerabilities that serve as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts within connected devices.

Hard Coded Credentials

When passwords or other authentication is hard-coded in firmware, attackers may use these credentials to gain trust and access to key systems.

Cryptographic Materials

Poorly configured systems may contain files such as private keys that may serve as a backdoor or let attackers impersonate the system, and expired or self-signed certificates can present weaknesses attackers can use to compromise the system.

Insecure Configurations

Some security issues are generated during the build process, such as not using compiler flags for exploit mitigations. Binary analysis allows these weaknesses to be identified and remediated. Other security issues may be introduced after the build process, such as network facing service configurations that leave the device open to attackers.

Unsafe Function Calls

Code containing unsafe function calls can leave firmware vulnerable to injection attacks that can cause denial of service, privilege escalation, or full takeover of the system.
