Solution

The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original can be found at CISA.gov.

FANUC is recommending the following, both of which are documented in FANUC’s Internet Setup and Operations Manual:

- FANUC Server Access Control (FSAC): Users can configure access to the FANUC webserver based on IP address.
- Network Protocol Access Level: Users can configure which protocols are usable on the controller by creating a firewall where users can close unwanted ports based on the chosen access level.

FANUC users can also find any additional information by visiting the FANUC website or contacting FANUC.
