ICS Killswitch — Cyber-Physical Industrial Security Research

Two-year DefCon research programme on cyber-physical attack chains against industrial control systems.

Research demonstrating cyber-physical attack chains against industrial control systems — how relatively small compromises in OT environments cascade into safety-relevant outcomes. Presented at DefCon in 2017 and again in 2018, with vendor coordination on remediation paths preceding each disclosure.

Affected: Industrial Control Systems (multi-vendor) · Severity: Critical
