Industrial control systems (ICS) are the backbone of the nation’s critical infrastructure. In 2013 President Obama signed Executive Order 13636, Improving Critical Infrastructure Cyber Security, requiring the creation of a cyber security framework including information security measures and controls, to help owners and operators of critical infrastructure identify, assess, and manage cyber risk.
This directive as well as other industry standards, such as, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)- Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) has stimulated a wave of aggressive security controls and policies to protect electric utility systems.
