NPort 5600 Series has enhanced its cryptographic algorithms, including cryptographic key and cipher suites.

Security Enhancements

1. Cryptographic Key
   Increases the RSA key length from 1024 to 2048.
2. Static Key Ciphers
   Removes medium strength cipher suites TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.
3. Strong Cipher Algorithms
   Uses strong cipher suites ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 and ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256.

Mitigations:

Moxa recommends users follow CISA recommendations. Users should:

1. Reduce network exposure by ensuring that all control system devices and systems are not accessible from the Internet.
2. Place control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, isolating them from business networks.
3. When remote access is necessary, employ secure methods such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). It is important to note that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be kept up to date with the latest available version. Remember that the security of a VPN depends on the security of its connected devices.
