Book Description

Maximize cybersecurity with industry best practices to protect Industrial Control Systems (ICS), particularly, Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Key Features Embrace proactive cybersecurity controls for SIS, recognizing the need for advanced protection strategies Analyze real-world SIS incidents, detailing root causes, response actions, and long-term implications Learn all about new threats in SIS like malware and ransomware, and explore future industrial cybersecurity trends Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionAs modern process facilities become increasingly sophisticated and vulnerable to cyber threats, securing critical infrastructure is more crucial than ever. This book offers an indispensable guide to industrial cybersecurity and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), vital for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical systems and protecting your operations, personnel, and assets. Starting with SIS design principles, the book delves into the architecture and protocols of safety networks. It provides hands-on experience identifying vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors, exploring how attackers might target SIS components. You’ll thoroughly analyze Key SIS technologies, threat modeling, and attack techniques targeting SIS controllers and engineer workstations. The book shows you how to secure Instrument Asset Management Systems (IAMS), implement physical security measures, and apply integrated risk management methodologies. It also covers compliance with emerging cybersecurity regulations and industry standards worldwide. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained practical insights into various risk assessment methodologies and a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively protect critical infrastructure.What you will learn Explore SIS design, architecture, and key safety network protocols Implement effective defense-in-depth strategies for SISs Evaluate and mitigate physical security risks in industrial settings Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments for industrial environments Navigate the complex landscape of industrial cybersecurity regulations Understand the impact of emerging technologies such as AI/ML, remote access, the cloud, and IIoT on SISs Enhance collaboration and communication among stakeholders to strengthen SIS cybersecurity Who this book is for This book is for professionals responsible for protecting mission-critical systems and processes, including cybersecurity and functional safety experts, managers, consultants, engineers, and auditors. Familiarity with basic functional safety concepts and a foundational understanding of cybersecurity will help you make the most out of this book.
