Despite the best cyber defenses, human error leads to many cyber incidents, due to a lack of cybersecurity knowledge and awareness.
The increasing number of cybersecurity threats to industrial control systems (ICS) means that better resilient cybersecurity protection is needed. An organization must employ security professionals and control system engineers having security awareness, work-specific knowledge, and hands-on technical skills required to secure automation and control systems.
A resilient cybersecurity program is all about the ability to not only deter and resist attacks but also to detect and recover from them, returning to regular operation with minimal downtime. Knowing what cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities are is the first step in minimizing your cybersecurity risks.
