Industrial cyber security

[kerihil]

Industrial cyber security usually has more to do with hardware and processes than software. Most people start from the hardware side, learning about firewalls, routers, and access control lists. To be a security admin you'll want to know financial auditing rules, risk assessments, and controls management as well. Those on the software side of information security are a different breed, the ones I know are it it for the thrill of the hunt more than job security and benefits.

Defining cyber security has been a major challenge for the industry. Industrial cyber security is primarily about the coming together of the principles of safety from the OT environment and the ideals of security from the IT environment. A lack of clarity in this aspect has made it difficult for end users to understand and identify security as a critical issue that needs systematic investment.
