ANECDOTE

Poland Energy Incident Shows Edge Risk

  • Attackers used exposed edge devices to deploy wipers and corrupt OT firmware in Poland's energy sector.
  • Power generation kept running but operators lost visibility and control, creating major safety risk.
INSIGHT

Unsupported Edge Devices Are Persistent Threats

  • CISA warns unsupported edge devices are reliable entry points because they stop receiving security updates.
  • Once vulnerabilities are public, unsupported devices remain exploitable indefinitely.
ADVICE

Follow CISA's 26-02 Timetable

  • CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-02 orders agencies to update supported devices and remove unsupported ones within a year.
  • Identify end-of-support devices within three months and remove unsupported devices over the following year.
