Claroty Finds Ransomware Risks in Building Systems

Cybersecurity firm Claroty has uncovered significant vulnerabilities across building management systems, revealing widespread exposure to ransomware threats and insecure internet configurations. In its latest findings, Claroty finds ransomware risks tied to known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) that attackers could weaponize to disrupt critical infrastructure operations.

The report highlights numerous systems with direct internet exposure, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and potential ransomware deployment. Claroty’s analysis indicates that these systems may lack essential security controls, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit KEVs for financial or strategic gain.

Claroty finds ransomware risks particularly alarming due to their potential impact on operational continuity and safety in sensitive environments. The research underscores the urgent need for organizations to assess their building management networks and fortify them against rising threats.
