Industrial Network Security Securing Critical Infrastructure Networks for Smart Grid, SCADA, and Other Industrial Control Systems

For a decade now we have been hearing the same thing-that our critical infrastructure is vulnerable and it needs to be secured. Industrial Network Security examines the unique protocols and applications that are the foundation of industrial control systems and provides you with comprehensive guidelines for their protection. While covering compliance guidelines, attacks and vectors, and even evolving security tools, this book gives you a clear understanding of SCADA and Control System protocols and how they operate.

• Covers implementation guidelines for security measures of critical infrastructure
• Applies the security measures for system-specific compliance
• Discusses common pitfalls and mistakes and how to avoid them

Eric Knapp is a globally recognized expert in industrial control systems cyber security and continues to drive the adoption of new security technology to promote safer and more reliable automation infrastructures. He first specialized in ICS cyber security while at Nitrosecurity, where he focused on threats against these environments. He was later responsible for the development and implementation of end-to-end ICS cyber security solutions for McAfee in his role as Global Director for Critical Infrastructure Markets. He is currently Director of Strategic Alliances for Wurldtech Security Technologies, where he continues to promote the advancement of embedded security technology to better protect SCADA, ICS and other connected, real-time devices.
