One SSID To Rule Them All
Summary
During an OT-focused engagement, Pen Test Partners researchers discovered a critical IT-OT segmentation bypass vulnerability. They could completely break the segmentation without needing to perform any complex actions, highlighting a significant security oversight.
IFF Assessment
The discovery of a segmentation bypass represents a severe security flaw that adversaries could exploit to gain unauthorized access between IT and OT networks, making it bad news for defenders.
Defender Context
This finding underscores the critical need for robust segmentation between IT and OT environments. Defenders should proactively test their segmentation controls to ensure they are effective and cannot be bypassed through simple means, especially in industrial control system (ICS) environments.
