Nobody wants to see the industrial control systems that help run the energy sector attacked, but attacked they are being.
Cyber incidents that impact industrial control systems (ICS) can be amongst the most worrying that security professionals have to tackle. Not just from the production downtime, and consequential financial losses, that often result either; if that incident happens in a sector such as energy then the implications have a much broader and critical reach. Which is why the latest Kaspersky ICS CERT report makes for very difficult reading.
