Threats to Industrial Control Systems
- To enhance the system operations and productivity, every ICS regularly adopts new and updated technologies and applications in both IT and OT.
- The combination of IT and OT makes them more appealing to hackers and also can not protect SCADA and other legacy.
- When ICS equipment is immediately accessible over the internet, hackers may exploit security flaws or inadequate authentication processes to get access and compromise it.
- Phishing tactics might be used by attackers to fool staff members into disclosing their login credentials, giving them legal entry into the ICS environment.
What is Industrial Control System (ICS)?
Industrial control systems (ICS) are a broad word used in manufacturing to refer to integrating network connections, hardware, and software to support vital infrastructure. In the context of critical infrastructure, ICS assets facilitate the efficient administration and operation of crucial services.
Devices for monitoring energy production, distribution, and transmission are among these assets in the power grid. An industrial control system manages production, distribution, handling of products, and manufacturing in the industrial sector.
