Process control systems that control the operation of industries are at risk because they were not designed with widespread connectivity in mind. Some lack even basic information security measures. These control systems are not only critical to specific industries but also to a nation's infrastructure because they control operations such as refineries, pipelines, manufacturing, power utilities, and water plants. This study illustrates control system cyber security risks and shows how an industry can work together with government, control system vendors, and security technology vendors to address common challenges. Linking Oil and Gas Industry to Improve Cyber security ( LOGIIC ) is a partnership of the Oil and Gas ( O&G ) Industry with the US Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ). In a collaborative effort, participants from private industry, the government, vendors, and the research community all joined together to reach a common solution to cyber security issues in control system. ISA Security Compliance Institute ( ISCI ), a leading, global, nonprofit organization, is another industry partnership that plans to provide baseline security certifications and is helping to provide security compliance “out of the box”. LOGIIC and ISA will be referenced in many of the examples included in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
