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.
