Preface -- 1. Background -- 2. Definitions -- 3. Industrial control system descriptions -- 4. Convergence of industrial control systems and information technology -- 5. Differences between industrial control systems and information technology -- 6. Electronic threats to industrial control systems -- 7. Myths -- 8. Current personnel status and needs -- 9. Information sharing and disclosure -- 10. Industrial control system cyber risk assessments -- 11. Selected industry activities -- 12. industrial control system security trends and observations -- 13. industrial control system cyber security demonstrations -- 14. Selected case histories: malicious attacks -- 15. Selected case histories: unintentional incidents -- 16. Industrial control system incident categorization -- 17. Recommendations.

Summary: "Aimed at both the novice and expert in IT security and industrial control systems (ICS), this book will help readers gain a better understanding of protecting ICSs from electronic threats. Cyber security is getting much more attention and "SCADA security" (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a particularly important part of this field, as are Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), and all the other, field controllers, sensors, drives, and emission controls that make up the "intelligence" of modern industrial buildings and facilities"--Resource description page.
