What role does phishing play in compromising industrial IoT systems?

Phishing can be used as an attack vector to compromise industrial IoT systems by tricking users into revealing sensitive information or credentials. Attackers may impersonate legitimate entities to gain access to the system or plant malware through phishing emails or messages. To mitigate these risks, security measures such as employee training to recognize phishing attempts, implementing email filters, enforcing multi-factor authentication, regularly updating software and firmware, segmenting networks, and conducting security audits can be effective.
