What is a programmable logic controller (PLC)? | Definition from TechTarget

What is a programmable logic controller (PLC)? A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a small, modular, solid-state computer with customized instructions for performing a particular task. PLCs, used in various industrial control systems (ICSes), have primarily replaced mechanical relays, drum sequencers and cam timers. PLCs have revolutionized the way industrial processes are controlled. They have […]

Georgia Tech researchers warn of Stuxnet-style web-based PLC malware, redefining industrial cybersecurity threats – Industrial Cyber

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology presented a novel approach to developing programmable logic controller (PLC) malware that proves to be more flexible, resilient, and impactful than current strategies. The scheme allows the malware to stealthily attack the underlying real-world machinery using the legitimate web application program interfaces (APIs) exposed by the admin portal […]
