Industrial Cybersecurity: Efficiently secure critical infrastructure systems

By Pascal Ackerman

Book Overview

Your one-step guide to understanding industrial cyber security, its control systems, and its operations.

Key Features:

Learn about endpoint protection such as anti-malware implementation, updating, monitoring, and sanitizing user workloads and mobile devicesFilled with practical examples to help you secure critical infrastructure systems efficientlyA step-by-step guide that will teach you the techniques and methodologies of building robust infrastructure systems

Book Description:

With industries expanding, cyber attacks have increased significantly. Understanding your control system's vulnerabilities and learning techniques to defend critical infrastructure systems from cyber threats is increasingly important. With the help of real-world use cases, this book will teach you the methodologies and security measures necessary to protect critical infrastructure systems and will get you up to speed with identifying unique challenges.Industrial cybersecurity begins by introducing Industrial Control System (ICS) technology, including ICS architectures, communication media, and protocols. This is followed by a presentation on ICS (in) security. After presenting an ICS-related attack scenario, securing of the ICS is discussed, including topics such as network segmentation, defense-in-depth strategies, and protective solutions. Along with practical examples for protecting industrial control systems, this book details security assessments, risk management, and security program development. It also covers essential cybersecurity aspects, such as threat detection and access management. Topics related to endpoint hardening such as monitoring, updating, and anti-malware implementations are also discussed.

What You Will Learn:

Understand industrial cybersecurity, its control systems and operationsDesign security-oriented architectures, network segmentation, and security support servicesConfigure event monitoring systems, anti-malware applications, and endpoint securityGain knowledge of ICS risks, threat detection, and access managementLearn about patch management and life cycle managementSecure your industrial control systems from design through retirement

Who this book is for:

If you are a security professional and want to ensure a robust environment for critical infrastructure systems, this book is for you. IT professionals interested in getting into the cyber security domain or who are looking at gaining industrial cyber security certifications will also find this book useful.
