detecting-stuxnet-style-attacks
Detects sophisticated cyber-physical attacks that follow the Stuxnet pattern of modifying PLC logic while spoofing sensor readings to hide the manipulation, using PLC logic integrity monitoring (Claroty xDome, Nozomi Guardian) and physics-based process anomaly detection. Use when hunting for IT-to-OT lateral movement or discrepancies between PLC program state and physical process behavior in ICS/SCADA environments.

# Detecting Stuxnet-Style Attacks
## When to Use
- When implementing advanced threat detection for high-value OT targets (nuclear, chemical, critical infrastructure)
- When building detection for APT-style attacks targeting PLC logic and process manipulation
- When establishing PLC logic integrity monitoring to detect unauthorized modifications
- When investigating suspected process anomalies that may indicate cyber-physical attacks
- When designing defense-in-depth strategies against nation-state level OT threats
**Do not use** for basic OT intrusion detection (see detecting-attacks-on-scada-systems), for malware analysis of Stuxnet samples (see malware reverse engineering skills), or for PLC programming and logic development.
