Typical risks to an ICS environment

Due to the characteristics of a typical ICS, the following risk categories can be found in most ICS environments:

Denial of service attacks: By far the biggest risk to the ICS is denial of service (DOS) attacks (remember, uptime and availability is the main focus of an ICS). DOS attacks are based on overloading target resources to the point where legitimate users can no longer interact with the target system. A classic example of a DOS attack is the SYN flood, where the attacker bombards the target system with so-called SYN packets – packets where the TCP SYN flag is set. SYN packets are the first packets in the three-way TCP handshake and establish a connection between two systems. After receiving the SYN packet from the attacker, the target will allocate some resources (a socket) to respond to the SYN packet with a SYN/ACK packet (a packet where the TCP flags called SYN and ACK are set) to tell the attacker, "I am ready to establish...
