#### Metrics
## Mitigation Recommendations
The **Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)** recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Key recommendations include:
* Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
* Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
* When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (**VPNs**), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
