Discussion Board
This week we will be learning about Industrial Control Systems, both critical and non-critical. Several challenges in securing these systems include accurately identifying critical vs. non-critical ICS systems and identifying the unique challenges that exist in securing Industrial Control Systems as compared to business systems. To participate in this discussion, please complete the following steps:
• First, read the document titled, PureLand Cyber Security Case Study available on the main menu in the PureLand Case Study area.
• Within the discussion board for Introduction to PureLand Case Study, create a new thread and post your thoughts that cover the following points:
o Do you feel the computer(s) used to control the sterilization process PureLand uses with a highly toxic chemical would be considered a critical or non-critical asset and why?
o Identify what organization regulates the industry where this ICS is used.
o Explain two unique challenges that exist securing the PureLand Industrial Control System as compared to business systems.
