Pedro Umbelino, Principal Research Scientist at Bitsight Technologies, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss his team's research into Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems and how they uncovered 11 vulnerabilities in ATGs manufactured by five different vendors.
ATG systems are an industrial control system that monitors fuel levels inside storage tanks, including those at gasoline stations, military bases, hospitals, airports, and elsewhere. ATGs track fuel levels, and are meant to detect leaks, help with inventory management, and are key in regulatory compliance efforts.
The vulnerabilities uncovered by Pedro and his team expose these systems to catastrophic risks, from environmental hazards to significant economic losses, including physical damage.
Worse yet is that these systems are old and challenging to update.
