As industrial control systems (ICS), including SCADA, DCS, and
other process control networks, become Internet-facing, they expose
crucial services to attack. Threats like Duqu, a sophisticated worm
found in the wild that appeared to share portions of its code with
the Stuxnet worm, emerge with increasing frequency.
Explaining how to develop and implement an effective
cybersecurity program for ICS, Cybersecurity for Industrial Control
Systems: SCADA, DCS, PLC, HMI, and SIS provides you with the tools
to ensure network security without sacrificing the efficiency and
functionality of ICS.
Highlighting the key issues that need to be addressed, the book
begins with a thorough introduction to ICS. It discusses business,
cost, competitive, and regulatory drivers and the conflicting
priorities of convergence. Next, it explains why security
requirements differ from IT to ICS. It differentiates when standard
IT security solutions can be used and where SCADA-specific
practices are required.
The book examines the plethora of potential threats to ICS,
including hi-jacking malware, botnets, spam engines, and porn
dialers. It outlines the range of vulnerabilities inherent in the
ICS quest for efficiency and functionality that necessitates risk
behavior such as remote access and control of critical equipment.
Reviewing risk assessment techniques and the evolving risk
assessment process, the text concludes by examining what is on the
horizon for ICS security, including IPv6, ICSv6 test lab designs,
and IPv6 and ICS sensors.
