"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.

Hitachi Energy has released the following mitigations/fixes:

- AFS650: Update to AFS 650 firmware version 9.1.10
- AFS660-C, AFS665-B, AFS670-V2: Update to AFS 66x firmware version 7.1.08
- AFS670/675/677, AFR677: Update to AFS/AFR 67x firmware version 9.1.10

In addition, recommended security practices and firewall configurations can help protect a process control network from
attacks that originate from outside the network. Such practices include that process control systems are physically
protected from direct access by unauthorized personnel, have no direct connections to the Internet, and are separated
from other networks by means of a firewall system that has a minimal number of ports exposed, and others that have to
be evaluated case by case. Process control systems should not be used for Internet surfing, instant messaging, or
receiving e-mails. Portable computers and removable storage media should be carefully scanned for viruses before they
are connected to a control system.
