Navigating Industrial Cybersecurity: A Field Guide

Nearly every aspect of modern life depends on industrial control systems (ICS) operating as expected. As ICS devices become increasingly connected, they also become increasingly vulnerable. By and large, commercial and critical infrastructure industrial orgs are underprepared for the digital convergence of their IT and OT environments. ICS operators need to get a robust...
