Industrial Automation and Control System Security Principles: Protecting the Critical Infrastructure, 2nd Edition
The use of cyber warfare as a prelude or substitute for conventional attacks has gone from conjecture to reality. The obvious targets of such assaults are a nation's defense establishment, critical infrastructure, corporate intellectual property, government databases, and production capabilities.
This text develops a novel approach to securing industrial automation and control systems by generating protection principles through merging and adapting the best industrial and governmental standards and practices. It:
• Merges the fundamentals of information system security and the unique requirements of industrial automation and control systems
• Outlines highly effective, structured defenses against real threats of cyberattack on critical infrastructure and essential manufacturing assets
• Presents a clear and implementable formula to defend crucial elements such as refineries, chemical plants, manufacturing operations, power plants, transportation systems, and pipelines
• Examines the extant and emerging standards and guidelines, including ANSI, ISA, IEC, NIST, and IEEE
• Addresses the unique requirements of industrial automation and control systems
