Analysis of ICS and Corporate System Integration Vulnerabilities

摘要

Integrating industrial control systems (ICS) with Corporate system (IT) is becoming a necessity in the current industrial business world. The benefits of this integration are numerous but not without a strong risk. Indeed, the integration of ICS and IT systems exposes both to many security problems. Hence, securing this interconnection becomes one of the major priorities of the industrial sector. In this paper, we present a summarized overview of integrated ICS vulnerabilities, we evaluate the state of art of existing countermeasures and we suggest some research subjects that may be necessary to ensure integrated ICS security. For this purpose, we have studied several known security standards such as ISA, NIST and other papers on ICS systems convergence.
