Case Study: Real World Effects of Cyber-Attacks
Security Issues in Computer-controlled Production
About this book
Real World Effects of Cyber-Attacks highlights the misconceptions of cyber-crime and cyber-attacks. Looking at mechanisms of advanced cyber-attack and their effect on production companies, it analyses actions which production companies can take to secure their systems. Real World Effects of Cyber-Attacks is based on a real attack on a steel plant that resulted in significant damage to the company. Aimed at students on operations management courses, the case examines examples of computer-controlled industrial equipment. The author looks at the lack of security and various legacy systems that are connected to unsecured networks and gives vital advice on how to mitigate the issues that arise.Register for a Kogan Page account at check-out to access and download your PDF after purchasing.

Introduction
It is widely perceived that cyber-crime and cyber-attacks happen in cyberspace and that their effects remain in cyberspace. However, recent attacks on industrial production facilities are proof that this is no longer the case.
While in the mainstream IT/IS arena, computer security is well understood, managed and implemented, this is not necessarily the case when it comes to a wide variety of computer-controlled industrial equipment. Issues such as lack of security and various legacy systems that are connected to unsecured networks seem to be the norm in manufacturing. The root cause of this is that the lifetime of industrial plant equipment is usually far longer than the lifetime of the office-based equipment, and therefore it tends to lag behind in terms of security. Also, most legacy industrial control systems have not been built with security in mind, but rather the drivers have been resilience and cost effectiveness. As the number of cyber-attacks and their diversity is on the increase, this needs to change. The developed countries’ economies depend ...
