This document presents an executive explanation of the i4Q Security Guidelines (i4QSG) Solution providing the general description and technical application.
The phrase "industrial control system" (ICS) encompasses a broad range of control systems, including supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, distributed control systems (DCS), and other system control topologies such as programmable logic controllers (PLC), which are commonly used in industrial and critical infrastructure applications.
Increased attacks on any infrastructure served as a wake-up call for security researchers to pay more attention to ICS flaws. As a result, additional research into ICS vulnerabilities could help organizations better identify and handle the cyber dangers that critical infrastructure faces.
This guideline intends to highlight important parts of ICS cybersecurity by presenting best practices and significant aspects for defending against an ever-growing list of cyber-related threats.
