Portable storage media continue to be useful tools for transferring data physically to and from Operational Technology (OT) environments. Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drives are commonly used, in addition to external hard drives, CD or DVD drives, and other removable media.
Though portable storage media are convenient, their usage poses cybersecurity risks for operational environments. Procedural, physical, and technical controls are important for minimizing the likelihood of a cyberattack from portable storage media usage. The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has developed cybersecurity considerations to help OT personnel use portable storage media securely and effectively.
