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
