The 2014 hack attack which caused ‘massive damage’ at a German steel mill highlighted the vulnerabilities faced within manufacturing and industry. As one of the only attacks on industrial systems to cause damage, the industrial world’s eyes were opened to the need for secure Industrial Control Systems to prevent malicious attacks. As critical national infrastructure is starting to be regulated, with fines upwards of 50,000 Euros being threatened if basic standards are not met within 2 years, the need to understand these regulations and best practices to protect against intrusions is more prevalent than ever. Of the key areas mentioned in the act, the Transport, Water Telecommunications and Energy sectors show the importance that ICS Security will play in this standardization process.
