No minimum orderDescription
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. Industrial Network Security, Second Edition arms you with the knowledge you need to understand the vulnerabilities of these distributed supervisory and control systems. The book examines the unique protocols and applications that are the foundation of industrial control systems, and provides clear guidelines for their protection. This how-to guide gives you thorough understanding of the unique challenges facing critical infrastructures, new guidelines and security measures for critical infrastructure protection, knowledge of new and evolving security tools, and pointers on SCADA protocols and security implementation.

A very good book ! It gives a wide view on industrial network cyber security challenges which the industry is facing. The book is very easy to understand for those who are not familiar with the OT world. The chapters are in a sensible order which helps on the one hand to get the general ideas and on the other hand to get the relevant tools in order to transform the ideas into a practical approach.
