SANS Whitepaper Practical Industrial Control System (ICS) Cybersecurity
This paper explores the issues that arise with the blending of IT and OT into combined cyber-physical systems where risks must be identifed and managed.This whitepaper from the SANS Institute focuses on the growing use and benefits derived from information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) convergence which includes more effective management and operation of contemporary control systems. IT/OT convergence carries unique challenges that make managing and securing an industrial control system (ICS) more difficult. This is due to greater technical complexity, expanded risks and new threats to more than just business operations.
