The Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls The Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls
Whitepaper
NEW! ICS Critical Controls
Five cybersecurity controls can be utilized together to create an efficient and effective industrial control system (ICS) or operational technology (OT) security program. This paper identifies those controls and the rationale behind them so that organizations can adapt the controls to fit their environment and risks. The controls are intended to be outcome-focused instead of prescriptive in nature. They have been chosen based on the analysis of recent compromises and attacks in industrial companies around the world.

    About Industrial Control Systems Security

    ICS security is a security framework that protects these systems against accidental or intentional risks. The SANS ICS Curricula provides hands-on training courses focused on Attacking and Defending ICS environments. These courses equip both security professionals and control system engineers with the knowledge and skills they need to safeguard our critical infrastructures. Learn More

    Why Is the ICS Initiative Important?
    • Tremendous gains are being achieved in industrial applications by sharing and analyzing data, but we need professionals who can address the security challenges.
    • Preparation is critical because ICS incidents are occurring with increasing frequency and damaging systems.
    • Control systems are widely deployed and need your attention - there is no such thing as a system that is too small.
    • Up-to-date ICS knowledge and security skills can help keep our critical systems safe.
    • Shared learning translates into results - effective security requires the integration of cybersecurity professionals, ICS support staff, and engineers.
