Forescout Research Tests Whether AI Can Create PLC Attacks

New research from Forescout’s Vedere Labs has demonstrated how artificial intelligence could begin to lower the barriers to developing sophisticated cyberattacks against industrial systems. The research set out to answer a potentially important question for operational technology (OT) security: can AI successfully adapt a remote code execution (RCE) exploit developed for one programmable logic controller (PLC) so that it works against another? Researchers tested this by using AI to help port an
