The findings highlight growing risks to operational technology security as AI tools become more accessible.", "body_md": "New research from Forescout’s Vedere Labs has demonstrated how artificial intelligence could begin to lower the barriers to developing sophisticated cyberattacks against industrial systems. The research set out to answer a potentially important question for operational technology (OT) security: can AI successfully adapt a remote code execution (RCE) exploit developed for one programmable logic controller […]\n\nThe post [Forescout Research Tests Whether AI Can Create PLC Attacks](https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2026/09/01/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks/) appeared first on [IT Security Guru](https://www.itsecurityguru.org).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks", "canonical_source": "https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2026/09/01/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks", "published_at": "2026-09-01 16:39:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-01 18:25:12.163446+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-safety"], "entities": ["Forescout", "Vedere Labs"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/forescout-research-tests-whether-ai-can-create-plc-attacks.jsonld"}}
