Network Segmentation Challenge

ICS integrations with IT result in a threat vector beyond the original design parameters of most ICS devices. Failure to properly secure and isolate ICS from enterprise systems (and from each other) may result in the propagation of malware, compromise, or even destruction of assets. And the disruption to a manufacturing site or critical infrastructure can have significant consequences, ranging from lost productivity and revenue to lost life.

There are various Challenges that Nation Critical Infrastructure (NCI) are facing such as :

• NCI allows Vendor/OEM to connect a Vendor/OEM-owned laptop to control system for support.
• Product Vendor/OEM connects to various Control systems such as Turbine-Generator to update software version per Service Level Agreement
• The Vendor’s/OEM’s computer contains malicious software that propagates to the control system.
• A malicious program removes the NCI system from service, resulting in a trip.
