HOW DRAGOS ACTIVITY GROUPS OBTAIN INITIAL ACCESS INTO INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
Adversaries gain initial access to industrial environments by exploiting common weaknesses such as phishing, compromising remote access services, abusing trusted third‑party connections, and leveraging exposed or poorly secured devices. As threats grow more complex, focusing on adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures becomes essential for defenders. Initial access is one of the most critical stages of an intrusion because it provides the foothold needed to move deeper into OT networks. Understanding these patterns helps organizations strengthen defenses and limit opportunities for attackers.
