Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems: SCADA, DCS, PLC, HMI, and SIS (UK)

As industrial control systems (ICS) become Internet-facing, they expose crucial services to attack. Explaining how to develop and implement an effective cybersecurity program for ICS, this book provides the tools to ensure network security without sacrificing efficiency and functionality. Starting with an introduction to ICS, it discusses business, cost, competitive, and regulatory drivers and the conflicting priorities of convergence. It explains why security requirements differ from IT to ICS and explains when standard IT security solutions can be used and where SCADA practices are required.
