Información del libro
A second edition filled with new and improved content, taking your ICS cybersecurity journey to the next level
Key Features
- Architect, design, and build ICS networks with security in mind
- Perform a variety of security assessments, checks, and verifications
- Ensure that your security processes are effective, complete, and relevant
Book Description
With Industrial Control Systems (ICS) expanding into traditional IT space and even into the cloud, the attack surface of ICS environments has increased significantly, making it crucial to recognize your ICS vulnerabilities and implement advanced techniques for monitoring and defending against rapidly evolving cyber threats to critical infrastructure. This second edition covers the updated Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ) architecture and shows you how to implement, verify, and monitor a holistic security program for your ICS environment.You'll begin by learning how to design security-oriented architecture that allows you to implement the tools, techniques, and activities covered in this book effectively and easily. You'll get to grips with the monitoring, tracking, and trending (visualizing) and procedures of ICS cybersecurity risks as well as understand the overall security program and posture/hygiene of the ICS environment. The book then introduces you to threat hunting principles, tools, and techniques to help you identify malicious activity successfully. Finally, you'll work with incident response and incident recovery tools and techniques in an ICS environment.By the end of this book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of industrial cybersecurity monitoring, assessments, incident response activities, as well as threat hunting.
What you will learn
- Monitor the ICS security posture actively as well as passively
- Respond to incidents in a controlled and standard way
- Understand what incident response activities are required in your ICS environment
- Perform threat-hunting exercises using the Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK) stack
- Assess the overall effectiveness of your ICS cybersecurity program
- Discover tools, techniques, methodologies, and activities to perform risk assessments for your ICS environment
Who this book is for
If you are an ICS security professional or anyone curious about ICS cybersecurity for extending, improving, monitoring, and validating your ICS cybersecurity posture, then this book is for you. IT/OT professionals interested in entering the ICS cybersecurity monitoring domain or searching for additional learning material for different industry-leading cybersecurity certifications will also find this book useful.

Recap of the first edition
What is an ICS?
ICS functions
- The Enterprise Zone is predominantly IT space. Devices, systems, and equipment typically found here are computer-related, such as servers, workstations, and laptops, as well as mobile devices such as phones, tablets, handhelds, and others. These devices are connected together with various Ethernet equipment and media, including switches, wireless access points, routers, firewalls, and the cables that connect all of these devices (Category 6 (Cat6)/Cat6e media).
- The Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ) functions as a barrier between the Enterprise Zone and the Industrial Zone and is typically implemented as a collection of virtualization hardware, firewalls, and switches.
- In the Industrial Zone, we can find a variety of regular off-the-shelf IT equipment, along with proprietary and specialized hardware that is used to run the production process. In an upcoming section, ICS architecture, we will discuss some of the more common systems that can be found in the Industrial Zone.
