Foreword

Dr. Anton A. Chuvakin

Security Warrior Consulting

One of the most mysterious areas of information security is industrial system security. No other area of information security contains that many myths, mistakes, misconceptions and outright lies. Information available online, while voluminous, will only lead information security professionals and industrial systems professionals to more confusion and more misconceptionswhich may result in not only costly, but also life-threatening, mistakes.

What raises the mystery even higher is that the stakes in the area of industrial security are extremely high. While the loss of trade secret information may kill a business, the loss of electricity generating capability may kill not just one person, but potentially thousands.

And finally the mystery is solvedwith this well-researched book on industrial system network security.

The book had a few parts of particular interest to me. I liked that the book covers the myth of an air gapnow in the age of wireless, the air gap is not what it used to be and should not be assumed to be the absolute security. I also liked that safety versus security is covered: industrial engineers might know more about the former while my InfoSec colleagues know more about the latter. Todays interconnected industrial systems absolutely need both! Finally, I also liked the books focus on risk and impact, and not simply on following the regulatory minimum.
