Industrial cybersecurity & Safety
Industrial cybersecurity is a challenge that companies of all sizes and industries need to address. In this article, we draw on our knowledge of industrial security to provide management with best practices and strategies for reducing risks and protecting networks. Industrial cybersecurity can make the difference between keeping your company competitive and surviving an attack. Security concerns affect industries everywhere, but in recent years serious attention has focused on industrial control systems (ICS), which control machinery and equipment in factories, refineries, dams, and other facilities. These systems are the most complex targeted by hackers. While there are many types of ICS, they typically have one thing in common: data links between components. These links enable hackers to access and control systems at any industrial facility with a wired or wireless connection.
