As of today, the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, hosted by Mitre Corporation (http://cve.mitre.org/) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), contains 34,542 entries. That may not seem like a large number, but any one of those entries can translate to multiple instances in the field. While the contents of this database are very important in the IT world to help security practitioners ply their trade, build rule sets, etc., there is a glaring lack of information on industrial control systems (ICS). A search of the CVE database using “SCADA” or “DCS” or “PLC” as a search ...

By leveraging the proprietary data in Delphi™, the world’s largest database of industrial system vulnerabilities, Wurldtech has created a solution specifically designed to help reduce the cost and complexity of mitigation activities for process control networks by integrating specific vulnerability intelligence into common security enforcement devices such as firewalls and intrusion detections systems. This allows common IT infrastructure to be tailored for industrial network environments and continuously updated with specific rule-sets and signatures, protecting control systems immediately, substantially reducing the frequency of patching activities and reducing overall costs. This update and support service is called AchillesINSIDE™.
