“…Instead of traditional methods like firearms and explosives, they employ digital codes to launch attacks on other states. By utilizing a single computer, they can target vital infrastructures such as SCADA and PLC systems, which are responsible for overseeing and organizing various industries (Sahu et al, 2016). Stuxnet is the first malicious threat directed at the industrial control system like gas pipelines, power plants, etc.…”

“…Before 2008, these assessments did not include cyber-related terms, but within two years, they incorporated cyber-related language, reflecting the growing importance of cyber threats in the contemporary landscape. As technology advances, cyber threats have risen to the top of the threat list, becoming a major concern for authorities (Sahu et al, 2016).…”

“…Among the three types of cyber-attacks or threats highlighted by Sahu et al (2016) and that concern countries, the following are significant: 1. Intellectual Property Theft -Such actions have the potential to negatively impact the economic state of a country, similar to the recent incident involving JP Morgan.…”

Stuxnet is a highly customized malware developed to destroy centrifuges used in the Iranian nuclear program through SCADA systems. It infects a computer through a USB drive, making it effective for targeting air-gapped networks. Stuxnet is larger and more complex than an equivalent worm; it is created in several different programming languages, and some components are encrypted. The malware utilizes four unprecedented zero-day vulnerability attacks that exploit application security vulnerabilities before developers become aware of the vulnerability. Additionally, it employs advanced rootkit technology to conceal itself from users and antimalware software on both Windows and the control computer it targets. To strengthen cybersecurity, this study implemented and configured a combination of firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to enhance security against the Stuxnet malware. By integrating these security measures, the aim was to establish a robust defense against the sophisticated attack methods employed by Stuxnet. It is essential to continuously update and adapt these security measures as the threat landscape evolves. By remaining vigilant and proactive, organizations can effectively safeguard their systems from sophisticated threats like Stuxnet, bolstering their cybersecurity defenses.

“…However, the present implementation practices of ICS/SCADA systems have introduced a wide range of security vulnerabilities (Sajid et al, 2016). Cyberattacks on ICS/SCADA systems can be performed from the internet or devices connected to the business or enterprise networks, which have access to the field-level devices (Sahu et al, 2016). As a result, ICS turn into obvious targets for cyber-attacks.…”

Purpose The common implementation practices of modern industrial control systems (ICS) has left a window wide open to various security vulnerabilities. As the cyber-threat landscape continues to evolve, the ICS and their underlying architecture must be protected to withstand cyber-attacks. This study aims to review several ICS security assessment methodologies to identify an appropriate vulnerability assessment method for the ICS systems that examine both critical physical and cyber systems so as to protect the national critical infrastructure. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews several ICS security assessment methodologies and explores whether the existing methodologies are indeed sufficient to meet the cyber security assessment exercise required to validate the security of electrical power control systems. Findings The study showed that most of the examined methodologies seem to concentrate on vulnerability identification and prioritisation techniques, whilst other security techniques received noticeably less attention. The study also showed that the least attention is devoted to patch management process due to the critical nature of the SCADA system. Additionally, this review portrayed that only two security assessment methodologies exhibited absolute fulfilment of all NERC-CIP security requirements, whilst the others only partially fulfilled the essential requirements. Originality/value This paper presents a review and a comparative analysis of several standard SCADA security assessment methodologies and guidelines published by internationally recognised bodies. In addition, it explores the adequacy of the existing methodologies in meeting cyber security assessment practices required for electrical power networks.

From the past to the present, strategies have been developed for business internationalization in the context of strategic management. These strategies have been examined theoretically and practically. To give an example of these approaches, the internationalization processes of businesses were primarily examined under two sub-headings, static and dynamic. A process where globalization affects national culture, social life, and borders is lived. Therefore, macro theory literature is another field that deals with the globalization process and internationalization strategies. The aim of this study is to examine how cyber wars will affect national business systems, based on the macro theory literature, with the interpretive paradigm.
