"Cyber Threats to Critical Manufacturing Sector Industrial Control Systems"

The Critical Manufacturing Sector is at risk due to the expansion of the cyber threat landscape and attack surface, and limited cybersecurity workforces associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has identified potential vulnerabilities in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) resulting from increased remote-based ICS management and industry adaptation to working conditions during the pandemic. These vulnerabilities include expanded cyberattack surfaces, reduced network segmentation and securitization, and unauthorized access (both physical and online). This article continues to discuss CISA's insights regarding cyber threats to the control systems that manage industrial processes in the Critical Manufacturing Sector.
