Study Notes
Cybersecurity Standards
- The most important set of standards mentioned in the text is IEC 62443, a multi-industry cybersecurity standard.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- Provides guidance on managing and reducing cybersecurity risk.
- Integrates industry standards and best practices to manage cybersecurity risk.
- Helps organizations understand and manage cybersecurity risk.
IEC 62443 Standard
- Focuses on Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) cybersecurity.
- Defines the security levels (SL) in four categories: SL 0 to SL 4, with SL 4 being the highest.
- The purpose of defining security levels is to ensure devices in a zone meet the corresponding security level target.
Purdue Model
- Traditionally segments O.T. into six zones: enterprise, demographics, manufacturing, control, supervisory, and peripherals.
- Critical physical assets are placed on the physical plant floor in the manufacturing zone.
- Control area zones on the plant floor include sensors, actuators, and other devices.
- Shared services, management, analytics, historians, and data shared between O.T and I.T. are found in the demographics zone.
- Traditional I.T. resides and connects with the external internet in the enterprise zone.
- Devices in the operations and control zone include RTUs, PLCs, and HMIs.
- The enterprise zone connects with the external internet.
Security Measures
- If devices inside a zone cannot meet the corresponding security level target, additional countermeasures should be implemented.
- Three types of countermeasures mentioned to reach the security level target are: avoid, transfer, and mitigate.
