Product Description
The emerging field of Industrial Network Security came to the forefront after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Whether you talk about process control systems for chemical plants and refineries, SCADA networks for utilities like electric, natural gas, water and wastewater, or factory automation systems for discrete manufacturing, all these areas need protection from hackers, disgruntled employees, and even cyberterrorists. This easy-to-read book provides an introduction to the field of Industrial Network Security and as an overview leverages the technical information ISA has developed in its short courses and conferences. It includes a brief tutorial on the basics of IT cybersecurity for the uninitiated. The book also takes a look at the many different organizations contributing to this area. Although most of industrial network security is cyber in nature, it includes summaries of physical and personnel security to round out this new field.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book offers an introduction to all the aspects that need to be considered by any Automation, Instrumentation, and/or Control professional to guarantee appropriate security measures for any Industrial network for which he/she may be accountable for. When the book mentions Industrial Network it refers to both the communication components and the computer-controlled equipment used in industrial applications. Additionally by Network Security, the author refers to the rapidly expanding field concerned in how to keep industrial networks secure, and by implications, how to keep the people, processes, and equipment that depend on them secure. To give a better idea of what is covered and since the Table of Contents is not available in the information provided by the good fellows of Amazon, following I have included how the book is organized: - Industrial network security. - A security backgrounder. - COTS (Commercial-of-the-Shelf) and connectivity. - Cybersecurity in a nutshell. - Countermeasures. - Cyberdefense Part I - Design and Planning. - Cyberdefense Part II - Technology. - Cyberdefense Part III - People, Policies and Assurance. - Defending industrial networks - Case histories. - Acronyms. If your work is related with the design, maintenance of operation of Industrial Automation, Instrumentation, and Process Control and Safety Systems, this book is for you. I have been working in the Process Industries for more than 16 years as an Automation, Instrumentation, Process Safety and Process Control Engineer. I consider this book to be a very best introduction to the field of Cybersecurity, and it is also an Excellent refresher for anyone and everyone working in these areas or in areas related with their Industrial applications.
