Аннотация

Currently, the international cybersecurity environment is tense. While until recently, cyber threats were considered primarily in relation to the theft of confidential information and extortion, governments are now increasingly talking about cyber weapons and the possibility of physical damage to critical infrastructure. This can be achieved by attacking industrial control systems (ICS) that connect the world of information technology and real industrial processes. Traditionally, systems of this class were poorly protected from cyber threats, or not protected at all, which now puts entire industries at risk. This paper discusses practical issues of ICS protection and in particular, issues related to the design of secure ICS architectures.

A Word from the Author

This paper is aimed primarily at managers responsible for the cybersecurity of process control systems, and engineers who are beginning their career in the field of industrial control system cybersecurity. It is designed to help understand the peculiarities of the practical application of international and national standards for the cybersecurity of the industrial control systems to help avoid architectural and gross technical errors at the start of projects, to highlight the main features of the protection of ICS. This paper can also be useful for industry experts as it can offer a new perspective on familiar things.

I sincerely hope that this work will help the reader to better understand the specifics of ICS cybersecurity and make our world a little safer.
