IND.2.1.A8 Protection Against Malware [OT Operations] (S)

ICS components SHOULD be protected against malware by suitable mechanisms (see OPS.1.1.4 Protection Against Malware). If an anti-virus protection program is used in this regard, the program and the virus signatures approved by the manufacturer SHOULD always be up to date.

If the resources on the ICS component are not sufficient or real-time requests could be endangered by the use of anti-virus protection programs, alternative safeguards (such as the isolation of the ICS component or the production network) SHOULD be implemented.
