Importance of cyber risk assessment
A cyber-physical risk assessment is a multifaceted process that systematically evaluates and measures the potential risks linked with safety operations and workflows in our ICS landscape. These assessments provide a comprehensive, quantified understanding of vulnerabilities, potential threats, and their implications on the operating integrity and safety functions of our SIS.
This chapter underscores the imperative of risk assessments in fortifying cyber defenses, particularly in the context of SISs, which are often at the crossroads of highly sensitive industrial operations. In a cyber world fraught with evolving threats, an effective risk assessment can mean the difference between a swiftly mitigated vulnerability and a potentially debilitating intrusion into Safety Critical Systems (SCSs).
Through a crisp exploration of varied risk assessment methodologies, high-level risk appraisals, and detailed risk inspections, this chapter sets the stage...
