Industrial Control Systems
Antony Bridges · IGI Global eBooks · 2012
As industrial control systems (ICSs) have been connected to wider organisational networks and the Internet, the threat from unauthorised access has increased. Protecting these systems from attack requires not just the use of appropriate technological solutions but also an understanding of the humans within the wider system. It is not sufficient that the human knows what they need to do. They must also be willing and able to do it. This chapter highlights some of the human vulnerabilities within Industrial Control Systems and suggests that greater consideration of and adaptation to the human limitations will enhance the future security of these systems.
