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. Read Bitsight's research here.Listen to the Nexus Podcast on your favorite podcast platform. The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Claroty, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
