Description
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.
How to understand and address the unique security concerns that face the world's most important networks
About the Author
Eric Knapp is a globally recognized expert in industrial control systems cyber security and continues to drive the adoption of new security technology to promote safer and more reliable automation infrastructures. He first specialized in ICS cyber security while at Nitrosecurity, where he focused on threats against these environments. He was later responsible for the development and implementation of end-to-end ICS cyber security solutions for McAfee in his role as Global Director for Critical Infrastructure Markets. He is currently Director of Strategic Alliances for Wurldtech Security Technologies, where he continues to promote the advancement of embedded security technology to better protect SCADA, ICS and other connected, real-time devices. In addition to his work in information security, he is an award-winning author of fiction. He studied at the University of New Hampshire and the University of London. Joel Langill is the SCADAhacker.?His expertise was developed over nearly 30 years through in-depth, comprehensive?industrial control systems architecture, product development, implementation, upgrade, and?remediation in a variety of?roles covering manufacturing of consumer products, oil, and gas, including petroleum refining, automation solution sales and development, and system engineering. His employers include major companies such as General Electric, Shell Oil Company, Honeywell Process Solutions, and ENGlobal Automation, offering him rare and insightful expertise in the risks and mitigation of cyber vulnerabilities in industrial control systems. He is a Certified Ethical Hacker, Certified Penetration Test, Cisco Certified Network Associate, and TUEV Functional Safety Engineer. Joel is also a proud member of the Milwaukee Chapter of InfraGard.

"...worth recommendation for people who are interested in modern industry control systems security. Additionally, it will be advantageous for university researchers and graduate students in the network security field, as well as to the industry specialists in the area of ICS." --IEEE Communications Magazine "The second edition of this work seems to be much-needed. Vulnerabilities in industrial control systems show no signs of abating..." --Network Security
