Abstract: Many of todays Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are becoming more advanced and complicated than ever before. No longer can we say that todays Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are truly isolated. With the advancement in technologies and the introduction of Ethernet and Transmission Control Protocols (TCP), Meters, Pressure and Density Transmitters, Flow Computers, Programmable Logical Controllers (PLC), Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are just a few ICS devices that are becoming more vulnerable to cyber attacks. The data derived from these systems is proving itself to be invaluable to company board members in their decision making to advance their company profits and gain a foot hold in an increasingly competitive market place. The increase of data acquisition systems like Historian Servers accessing the information highway via WAN connections increases the risks to the control network. Cyber security attacks are becoming more prevalent in the industry of automation as a whole. This paper will present the reader with tools and methodologies to mitigate cyber attacks and lay the foundation for an in depth approach to defense techniques to enhance the security posture of their company.
