Our SCADA security team is preparing an executive matrix of threat techniques targeting embedded field equipment. For technique T0868 (Detect Operating Mode), what target platform is specified in the threat framework?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Specifies ICS as the target platform. | Missed | Passed |

Adversaries may gather information about a PLCs or controllers current operating mode. Operating modes dictate what change or maintenance functions can be manipulated and are often controlled by a key switch on the PLC (e.g., run, prog [program], and remote). Knowledge of these states may be valuable to an adversary to determine if they are able to reprogram the PLC. Operating modes and the mechanisms by which they are selected often vary by vendor and product line. Some commonly implemented operating modes are described below:
Platforms: ICS
Determine if the target ICS/SCADA environment is susceptible to Detect Operating Mode by examining operational technology systems and network architecture.
Review whether mitigations for T0868 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable in the ICS environment.
