• The amount of attacks that happen in the industrial cybersecurity field is so many that companies always need to stay up to date with current risks.

The malware was not designed to affect the ICS networks but managed to affect industrial downtime processes. Cybersecurity attacks happen so commonly and there are new exploits everyday that we need to figure out how to defend our systems. In Flint Michigan, there was lead that got into the water which was caused by an attack towards the filtration plants. Even if companies are always up to date and constantly train their employees, nobody is actually ready for a zero day attack.
