Synopsis
Industrial Network Security: Securing Critical Infrastructure Networks for Smart Grid, SCADA, and Other Industrial Control Systems, Third Edition arms readers with the knowledge they need to understand the vulnerabilities of these distributed supervisory and control systems. Authors Eric Knapp and Joel Langill examine the unique protocols and applications that are the foundation of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and provide clear guidelines for their protection. This comprehensive reference gives you a thorough understanding of the challenges facing critical infrastructures, new guidelines and security measures for infrastructure protection, knowledge of new and evolving security tools, and pointers on SCADA protocols and security implementation. As the sophistication of cyber-attacks increases, understanding how to defend critical infrastructure systems--energy production, water, gas, and other vital systems--becomes more important, and heavily mandated.
