Industrial control systems (ICS) are rarely protected adequately against cyber threats, and that's a serious problem. In today's increasingly connected world, it's not if your systems will be attacked; it's when. Taking steps to protect them now is critical to avoid the risk of significant damage or life-threatening situations in the future.
Mitigating the risk of ICS cyberattacks requires different skill sets and tools than traditional information technology (IT) cybersecurity. The stakes are far higher in a cyber threat to operational technology (OT). Failing to thoroughly address cybersecurity in this capacity can impact your equipment, your workers' lives, and your community. It's important to make sure everyone who interacts with your organization is educated to keep cybersecurity a priority.
A new whitepaper from the International Society of Automation (ISA) dives into the unique challenges of automation cybersecurity. Titled "An Industry Imperative: Build a Standards-Based Cybersecurity Culture for Employees, Customers, and Partners," it's now downloadable through a form at www.isa.org/cyberculture.
Key findings include:
