Industrial Cybersecurity

Chapter 1: Introduction and Recap of First Edition

Welcome to the second edition of Industrial Cybersecurity. Over the next 24 chapters, we will discuss the next logical steps after building a secure Industrial Control System (ICS) environment and defining a comprehensive set of policies, procedures, and standards, discussed in detail in the first edition.

We are going to start off this second edition with a brief recap of topics and material that were covered in the first edition of Industrial Cybersecurity. This has mainly been added to get you up to speed with the terminologies, technologies, and principles that are expanded upon throughout the rest of this book. The remainder of the book concentrates on security monitoring and verification of the ICS security posture and the various tools, techniques, and activities involved.

This chapter will be a review of the first edition of this book. We will go over all the topics and material that were covered in the first edition, which should give you a solid base for the topics covered in this book. The chapter will conclude with an explanation of what to expect in the rest of this second-edition book.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • What is an ICS?
  • Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) convergence and the associated benefits and risks
  • The comprehensive risk management process
  • The Defense-in-Depth (DiD) model
  • ICS security program development

Industrial Cybersecurity – second edition

The way I am positioning the first and second editions of Industrial Cybersecurity is with the first edition focusing on ICS cybersecurity fundamentals and ICS cybersecurity program design and implementation. The second edition should be a logical addition by taking these core concepts and expanding upon them with tools, techniques, and activities that are aimed at verifying, monitoring, checking, improving, and correcting the overall security posture of the ICS environment. Some topics we will be covering on this continued journey include the following:

  • Architecture design with security in mind
  • Active and passive security monitoring
  • Industrial threat intelligence
  • Visualizing, correlating, and alerting (Security Information and Event Management (SIEM))
  • Incident response activities
  • Security assessments (penetration testing, red/blue team exercises)
  • Threat-hunting exercises

As mentioned earlier, this book will expand upon the topics of the first edition, so let's first recap on what we covered back in 2017.

Recap of the first edition

If you have not yet read the first edition of Industrial Cybersecurity, now would be the time to do so. It covers in detail how to get from zero to hero on implementing an industrial cybersecurity program, to define a secure ICS environment and network architecture that fits your organization's needs and requirements.

Reading the first edition is not a requirement though, as the first four chapters of this book will recap on relevant topics and get you on track to follow along and understand the material presented in this second edition.

Without further ado, let's start our journey with a recap of ICS (cybersecurity) principles and practices.

Key benefits

  • 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

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.

Who is this book 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.

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

An excellent update ICS resource. Builds upon Volume 1. Great Lab instructions and ICS/OT recommendations for pentests and Red Teaming exercises. Great for ICS /OT professionals an cybersecurity learners who are ICS/OT curious. The book covers activities, tools,procedures, and concepts around the monitoring, tracking, and trendingof ICS cybersecurity risks, as well as learning about the overall security programand posture/hygiene.My favorite area was threat hunting principles, tools,techniques, and methodology and h incident response and incident recovery tools, techniques, activities, and procedures as they relate to the ICS environment.

For anyone looking for resources on ICS cybersecurity, this is THE book. I work in the adjacent, related space of OT networking. This book answers an incredible volume of key questions all in one resource. I was surprised by its size, but found there really is no filler. Every page is useful information, including multiple real-world examples of high level tool configurations, which are often hard to find. It would be an excellent college textbook for a course on this topic. I also have the first edition, and in my opinion, calling this book a “second edition” sells the new one short. It goes far beyond a simple update. Chapters 5-19 in particular are primarily brand new, highly valuable material. It’s definitely worth your time and money.

Loved this book and finished it in two days. Very helpful for me to better understand how industrial control systems are set up, what is typically done for asset inventory and risk assessment, how to harden an ICS environment, how to run incident response for ICS and how to build an OT lab. Highly recommend.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
