Recommendations
Manufacturers
Development • Devices: holistic security architecture including secure boot, binary hardening, anti-exploitation features, permission separation etc
• Applications: proper authorization checks on web applications, mobile applications and cloud backends
Testing • Regular penetration testing on applications and devices • Consider bug bounty programs
Monitoring Web Application Firewalls Remember that a WAF does not protect against logical flaws

Users
Residential and commercial users • Change default passwords and credentials • Use role-based access control • Configure the recording of events in a log • Update software regularly • Backup system information • Disable unused features • Protect communication connections
Commercial and utility installations (in addition) •
Include security requirements into procurement considerations
• Conduct a risk assessment when setting up devices • Ensure network visibility into solar power systems • Segment these devices into their own sub-networks • Monitor those network segments

#Microsoft used its #AI-powered #SecurityCopilot to discover 20 previously unknown vulnerabilities in the #GRUB2, #UBoot, and #Barebox #opensource #bootloaders.
GRUB2 (GRand Unified Bootloader) is the default boot loader for most #Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, while U-Boot and Barebox are commonly used in embedded and #IoT devices.

@markd @revk @nowster @jasonkarns @jjcelery In other words, it is economy problem, not a tech problem.
There is no financial incentive to do it in a proper way, and in fact, there is financial incentive to do it sloppy, so user will be forced to buy another "better" version later.

So the solution is also economical - refuse to buy (and lobby others to refuse to buy) #IoT which are #DefectiveByDesign. If your IoT was #FOSS, you and other hobbyist would add that, as incentive is there.

#Sicherheitslücke #Photovoltaik System: Die Technik zur Gewinnung von Solarenergie ist alles andere als cybersicher - das aber ist kein branchenspezifisches Problem, sondern knüpft an die generelle Problematik unsicherer #IoT-Devices an, dass die Hersteller beim Markteintritt im Wesentlichen nur auf die Funktionalität, nicht aber auf die #Cybersecurity achten. Die Auswirkungen können aber aufgrund der Anbindung an #KRITIS deutlich schwerwiegender sein:
