The Business Viewpoint of Securing the Industrial Internet

Increasingly, standard Internet technologies are finding their way into industrial control systems, displacing the purpose-built technologies historically used to build such systems. By enabling global access and applications such as advanced analytics, this trend is enabling industrial enterprises to improve business performance and production efficiencies by orders of magnitude. An industrial control system is a collection of devices (sensors, actuators, and controllers) that work together to sense, monitor and control something in the physical world. These systems are ubiquitous in the modern world and control much of the critical infrastructure around us dams, power plants, transportation systems, the electric grid, mining, chemical and manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, data centers and medical systems. The continuing explosion of connected devices provides opportunities for unparalleled growth and performance gains in industrial systems. They present unprecedented risks of hostile attacks to plant personnel, to society and the environment at large, and to the businesses that operate industrial processes.
