Data is the most important commodity, dubbed "the money of the twenty-first century," which is why data protection has become a global priority. Data breaches and security flaws can jeopardize the global economy. Organizations face a greater risk of failing to achieve strategy and business goals as cyber threat behavior grows in frequency, sophistication, and destructiveness. A breach can result in data loss, business interruption, brand, and reputation harm, as well as regulatory and legal consequences. Furthermore, cyber security has evolved into a critical component of national defense. Furthermore, its sphere of control encompasses all facets of a country's government, economy, and health, in addition to military realms. Companies of all sizes, markets, and market environments face the task of securing their vital systems and data daily. A company needs a strategic, well-thought-out cybersecurity strategy to secure its critical infrastructure and information systems to overcome these challenges. As a result, businesses should seek guidance from cybersecurity frameworks. When used correctly, a cybersecurity system allows IT security leaders to better handle their companies' cyber threats. The Framework can be applied in phases and hence customized to suit the needs of any organization. The Cybersecurity Framework is designed for businesses of all sizes, divisions, and stages. The system can be customized to be used by any company thanks to the built-in customization feature, designed to be flexible enough to be used by organizations that are developing information security and risk management systems. This book examines potential solutions, starting with an understanding of ICS security developments in terms of cyber threats, weaknesses, attacks and patterns, agents, dangers, and the effects of all of these on the industrial environment and the organizations that depend on it. Equipped with cybersecurity framework best practices, this book is an excellent resource for PG students, Ph.D. scholars, industry practitioners, manufacturing and service industries, researchers, professors, and academicians. The book provides an understanding of the specific, standards-based security controls that make up a best practice cybersecurity program.
