Even though the U.S. hasn’t suffered an attack to manufacturing, power production or public transit, the risk is growing. Indeed, the number of IC-related cybersecurity incidents reported to U.S. authorities rose 20 percent in the last year.
ICS solutions and protocols were originally designed to work within isolated environments. They monitor and control industrial processes in critical infrastructure sectors such as electric grids and water treatment facilities, as well as in heavy industry. As more organizations connect their infrastructures to the Internet, companies are retrofitting this older equipment to work in modern networked environments.
