Vulnerabilities were found within industrial wireless Internet of Things (IIoT). The research released by OTORIO found that the vulnerabilities provide a direct path to internal operational technology (OT) networks, enabling hackers to bypass the common protection layers in the environments according to recent research.
The research into industrial wireless IoT devices and technologies revealed an issue involving the implementation of remote access to critical infrastructure. Because wireless IIoT is commonly connected both to the internet and the internal OT network, it poses serious risk to OT environments.
