According to ARC Advisory Group, many industrial operations remain at risk of costly, disruptive cyber incidents. Despite significant investments in defensive technologies, most companies are not doing a good job of maintaining them due to an imbalance between investments in security technologies and the people, processes, and security management technologies needed to sustain them.

ARC Advisory Group met with PAS, a provider of process safety, cybersecurity, and asset reliability solutions, to discuss the company’s approach for a new unified information management system that can integrate key process safety and operational metrics with industrial control systems (ICS) cybersecurity metrics. This creates a common view of risk in real time, allowing end users to address emerging issues before they can result in unplanned downtime or an incident.

This paper examines how an over-reliance on IT-centric perimeter defenses, combined with an inability to see vulnerabilities lurking deep within industrial control system (ICS) environments, has left our critical infrastructure vulnerable. It also discusses current ICS vulnerability management challenges, as well as how you can find and remediate vulnerabilities hidden today within ICS environments by taking a more production-centric approach to managing vulnerabilities on Level 2, 1, and 0 ICS assets.

Industrial companies have made significant investments in cybersecurity technologies to protect their plants and industrial control systems (ICS). However, many companies are unable to keep up with the never-ending stream of new vulnerability alerts from suppliers and groups like ICS-CERT. This leaves many plants at risk of serious cyber incidents, jeopardizing safety and operational reliability. In this paper, ARC Advisory Group discusses continuous ICS vulnerability management with PAS executives.

With cyber incidents and reported vulnerabilities on the rise, industrial cybersecurity leaders must deploy proactive industrial endpoint detection and response (EDR) across the entire process control network. This paper examines how EDR should extend to proprietary endpoints, what security controls have the greatest effect on reducing risk for these cyber assets, and what best practices apply.

With smarter, integrated automation comes a difficult challenge that has repercussions from the boardroom to manufacturing operations: ICS cybersecurity. It is generally well understood that you cannot secure what you cannot see. That is why accurate, up-to-date visibility of the system inventory is a key element of any cybersecurity solution. This paper discusses industry best practices for hardening ICS cybersecurity, focusing on the first and most crucial step: ICS inventory management.
