## 4\. MITIGATIONS
Advantech recommends updating to [Version 2.4.11](https://ep.advantech-
bb.cz/products/software/r-seenet) or later. See [Advantech Czech's security
advisory](https://ep.advantech-bb.cz/support/router-
models/download/239/sa-2020-01-01-r-seenet-2-4-10-vulnerability-en.pdf) for
more information.
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
* Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure that they are [not accessible from the Internet](https://www.us-cert.gov/ics/alerts/ICS-ALERT-10-301-01).
* Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and isolate them from the business network.
* When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for [control systems security recommended
practices](https://www.us-cert.gov/ics/recommended-practices) on the ICS
webpage on [us-cert.gov](https://www.us-cert.gov/ics). Several recommended
practices are available for reading and download, including [Improving
Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth
Strategies](https://www.us-
cert.gov/sites/default/files/recommended_practices/NCCIC_ICS-
CERT_Defense_in_Depth_2016_S508C.pdf).
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly
available on the [ICS webpage on us-cert.gov](https://www.us-cert.gov/ics) in
the Technical Information Paper, [ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion
Detection and Mitigation Strategies](https://www.us-cert.gov/ics/tips/ICS-
TIP-12-146-01B).
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability.
