The availability and security of many services we rely upon—including water treatment,
electricity, healthcare, transportation, and financial transactions—are routinely put at risk
by cyber threats. The Handbook of SCADA/Control Systems Security is a fundamental outline
of security concepts, methodologies, and relevant information pertaining to the supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and technology that quietly operate in the
background of critical utility and industrial facilities worldwide.
Divided into five sections, the book examines topics comprising functions within and
throughout industrial control systems (ICS) environments. Topics include
•Emerging trends and threat factors that plague the ICS security community
•Risk methodologies and principles that can be applied to safeguard and secure
an automated operation
•Methods for determining events leading to a cyber incident, and methods for restoring and
mitigating issues—including the importance of critical communications
•The necessity and reasoning behind implementing a governance
or compliance program
•A strategic roadmap for the development of a secured SCADA/control systems
environment, with examples
•Relevant issues concerning the maintenance, patching, and physical localities
of ICS equipment
•How to conduct training exercises for SCADA/control systems
The final chapters outline the data relied upon for accurate processing, discusses
emerging issues with data overload, and provides insight into the possible future direction of
ISC security.
The book supplies crucial information for securing industrial automation/process control
systems as part of a critical infrastructure protection program. The content has global
applications for securing essential governmental and economic systems that have evolved
into present-day security nightmares. The authors present a “best practices” approach to
securing business management environments at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels.

Interpreting FINRA Regulatory Notice 10-06 & 11-39 and Using Social Media
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued Regulatory Notice 10-06 & 11-39 in January 2010 to provide guidance to broker-dealers regarding the use of social media for advertising. As social media is relatively new in the financial services industry, firms are still feeling their way around, trying to better understand how they can use social media effectively. A task force convened in March 2011 to revisit 10-06 & 11-39 and see whether additional guidance was necessary, given the dynamic pace of social media. Social media has already proven to be a powerful marketing tool for other industries such as retail and technology, and registered representatives are keen to hop on the bandwagon and take advantage of this new communications channel.
This handbook is intended as a primer on Regulatory Notice 10-06 & 11-39 and how it relates to social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Additionally, the handbook details how each of the features of the aforementioned sites maps to 10-06, what the appropriate course of action should be, and what kinds of issues FINRA regulators are most interested in when conducting their audits.

· Previous professional experiences that have had a profound effect:
Before I started college, my parents wanted me to excel in healthcare knowing its high demand. The path to health care and eventual employment in a notable hospital setting seemed less risky than the one of Art and design. A few networking events and some LinkedIn leads later I came across an opportunity to start a Biomedical Engineering startup in South Florida with two investors willing to mentor me in a field I wasn’t familiar with. Luckily this new venture I was undertaking had a somewhat speculative risk. I made sure they were mostly in my favor thanks to the connections my investors had in the industry, and my background in health care. My hard work and diligence paid off slowly teaching myself the mechanics of the industry through the engineers we would hire. I remember watching how they would calibrate medical devices from pumps to life-saving equipment in awe. And with the same tenacity absorbing all the medical jargon in the Biomed world. I was adamant about doing my best and being the best even if that meant leaving my creative dreams behind. We started the business almost four years ago as a small minority women-owned business in the corner of a business complex. Five biomedical engineers and six technicians later we are still scaling and have since expanded our office from that small corner to the entire business building. Currently, we are a nationally recognized Biomed and medical supply company for some of the largest healthcare facilities in both the civilian and government sector. Yet through out all the achievement I felt the only sense of raw passion was when I collaborated with my engineers in delivering problem solving services to the hospital we served. Their job was to service devices in a hospital at a micro level and I would bridge that gap by identifying problems and finding opportunities in product service at a large-scale. Working hand in hand with the engineers in articulating the hospital need for turnover I would use design through projective process in creating a plan that would work in the most practical sense.
This moment of free creative problem solving was the highlight of my job. It gave me an opportunity to realize that although at times my approach was unconventional it would work. My systematic methodology I had adapted from working with engineers and my innate out of the box idea would come to together to solve some of the most challenging issues. Little did I know that this minor stroke of self-awareness would one day have me consider architecture.
Your current strengths and weaknesses in reaching your goal.
I realized my creative talents in design could not flourish under the pressures of work. I would constantly leave the office feeling drained in a profession my heart was not set on. In this I learned my weakness was how far I was willing to neglect the urge for creativity, and in exchange it jeopardized my sense of purpos.
· Please select ONE of the following questions and write a 200-wor.docxalinainglis
· Please select ONE of the following questions and write a 200-word discussion.
1. The Federal Reserve Board has enormous power over people's lives with its power to set and influence policy that determines monetary policy in the United States. Do you think this is proper for a democracy to provide the FED with so such power? How is the FED held accountable?
2. Do you believe that the roles of government should change from era to era, or should the US determine the proper role of government and try to maintain it through the ages?
3. Explain Executive Power in the US Constitution and briefly the process by which it developed over the years. Do you think the Framers should have been more specific about the powers of the presidency? Should the country try to make it more specific today?
· Please read the discussions below and write a 100 to 150 words respond for each discussion.
1. (question 1) I do believe that this is proper for a democracy to provided such power to FED. Without the FED the economy would face two problem, which are recessions that can lead into depressions, and inflation. The FED needs to have power to endures the country will not fall into economic trouble. In class professor McWeeney stated that the FED has the power to increase interest rates to control inflation, and the power to decrease interest rates so that theres more money in the economy to create more business and jobs so there wont be a recession. The FED needs these power to try to put the economy in a sweet spot. The FED is held accountable to the government and public. The FED does this by being transparent and giving and annual report to congress.
2. (question 2) I believe that the roles of the government should be changed from era to era. My main reason the roles should be changed is because major changes are constantly happening in the field of law. For example, the progressive era and modern era had several economic reforms that had taken place including increased regulation, anti-trust activity, application of an income tax, raise on social insurance programs, etc. Throughout this time, the government gave women the right to vote. I believe the economy is growing rapidly due to employment relationships, better technology, education, new polices, social and economic changes. This is the reason why the roles of the government should be changed from era to era.

· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching civic responsibility, how can this work with both "policies and people" in the school where you become principal?
In order to increase the focus on teaching civic responsibility, policy must be in place supporting this goal. A school leader must be willing to invest time and funds into planning, training, and implementing curriculum that emphasizes civics. Staff members may have different levels of interest, understanding, and comfort when it comes to incorporating civic responsibility into their teaching, so providing professional development in this area would be critical. The strategic plan for integrating civic responsibility and the expectations for each teacher’s involvement should be clearly communicated. In addition to establishing these policies regarding civics education, the school leader and teachers must work to model civic responsibility. In addition to sharing his or her vision for increased focus on civics with the school staff, the school leader should work to share his or her vision with school board members, other district personnel including the superintendent, and the greater community. Lastly, school leaders need to support their staff as they take risks and work to develop and implement new activities, discussions, and projects centered around teaching civic responsibility.
· How will you lead your staff in this part of the curriculum?
In leading my staff in this part of the curriculum, I would work to secure professional development related to civic responsibility, as this is not an area that I have expertise in, and work as a staff to develop our vision and implementation goals. I would also provide examples such as the work of the exemplar schools described in the article in integrating civic responsibility across all content areas, implementing service-learning programs, and creating partnerships between the school and community. I would also work within PLTs to develop ways that civic responsibility could be incorporated within their curriculum and remind them that they have my support as they embark on this endea

Introduction
This week, we will explore risk management. Risk management is one of those areas in project management that separates good project managers from great project managers. A good project manager makes risk management an integral part of every phase of project work. Risks are identified, prioritized, and understood. There are clear responsibilities within the team as to whose is responsible for implementing a risk response to reduce the impact should it occur. So let's get started.
What is Risk?
*Risk: An uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives.
Risks can be positive, meaning beneficial to the project, or they can be negative, meaning detrimental to the project.
Many students have a difficult time visualizing positive risks. A positive risk is an opportunity that may increase the probability of success, the return on investment, or the benefits of the project. They may also be ways to reduce project costs or ways to complete the project early. There may even be methods to improve project quality or overall performance. These are all examples of positive risks.
A negative risk can be easier to understand. It is the possibility that something will go wrong, a threat to the success of the project. It is important to remember that a risk is a possibility, not a fact. It is a potential problem. At GettaByte Software, there is the potential that a power outage would occur during data transfer. The potential exists that a key resource could become unavailable due to some unforeseen circumstance, like illness. Those are threats to the success of the project.
When buying a house to renovate, there are potential risks with respect to plumbing, wiring, the foundation, and so on.
A project manager needs to consider trying to make positive risks happen while trying to prevent negative ones from occurring. To do this, a project manager can take a proactive approach to risk management. This means he or she plans a risk response should it look as though the risk will become a reality. In this way, everyone knows exactly how to prepare and respond to the risk once it does become an issue.
The Risk Management Process
A project has both good and bad risks, which are referred to as positive and negative risks or opportunities and threats. For positive risks or opportunities, the project manager can choose from a range of risk responses. For threats, a project manager has a similar range of choices. The following, as described in the PMBOK® Guide, are the risk management processes.

· Helen Petrakis Identifying Data Helen Petrakis is a 5.docxalinainglis
·
Helen Petrakis Identifying Data: Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old, Caucasian female of Greek descent living in a four-bedroom house in Tarpon Springs, FL. Her family consists of her husband, John (60), son, Alec (27), daughter, Dmitra (23), and daughter Althima (18). John and Helen have been married for 30 years. They married in the Greek Orthodox Church and attend services weekly.
Presenting Problem: Helen reports feeling overwhelmed and “blue.” She was referred by a close friend who thought Helen would benefit from having a person who would listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with a stranger, Helen says that she decided to come for therapy because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles. John has been expressing his displeasure with meals at home, as Helen has been cooking less often and brings home takeout. Helen thinks she is inadequate as a wife. She states that she feels defeated; she describes an incident in which her son, Alec, expressed disappointment in her because she could not provide him with clean laundry. Helen reports feeling overwhelmed by her responsibilities and believes she can’t handle being a wife, mother, and caretaker any longer.
Family Dynamics: Helen describes her marriage as typical of a traditional Greek family. John, the breadwinner in the family, is successful in the souvenir shop in town. Helen voices a great deal of pride in her children. Dmitra is described as smart, beautiful, and hardworking. Althima is described as adorable and reliable. Helen shops, cooks, and cleans for the family, and John sees to yard care and maintaining the family’s cars. Helen believes the children are too busy to be expected to help around the house, knowing that is her role as wife and mother. John and Helen choose not to take money from their children for any room or board. The Petrakis family holds strong family bonds within a large and supportive Greek community.
Helen is the primary caretaker for Magda (John’s 81-year-old widowed mother), who lives in an apartment 30 minutes away. Until recently, Magda was self-sufficient, coming for weekly family dinners and driving herself shopping and to church. Six months ago, she fell and broke her hip and was also recently diagnosed with early signs of dementia. Helen and John hired a reliable and trusted woman temporarily to check in on Magda a couple of days each week. Helen would go and see Magda on the other days, sometimes twice in one day, depending on Magda’s needs. Helen would go food shopping for Magda, clean her home, pay her bills, and keep track of Magda’s medications. Since Helen thought she was unable to continue caretaking for both Magda and her husband and kids, she wanted the helper to come in more often, but John said they could not afford it. The money they now pay to the helper is coming out of the couple’s vacation savings. Caring for Magda makes Helen think she is failing as a wife and mother because she no longer ha.

Overview
: In Unit 1 and Unit 2, we focused on ways that writers build ideas from personal memories and experiences into interesting narratives that convey significance and meaning to new audiences. In Unit 3, we have been discussing how writers invent ideas by interacting with other communities through firsthand observation and description. These relationships and discoveries can give writers insight into larger concepts or ideas that are valuable to specific communities. For this writing project, you will use firsthand observations and discoveries to write about people and the issues that are important to them. Your evidence will come from the details you observe as you investigate other people, places, and events.
Assignment
Write an ethnography essay focused on a particular group of people and the routines or practices that best reveal their unique significance as a group.
An ethnography is a written description of a particular cultural group or community. For the ethnography essay, you can follow the guidelines in the CEL, p. 110-112. Your ethnography should:
· Begin with your observations of a particular group. Plan to observe this group 2-3 times, so that you can get a better sense of their routines, habits, and practices.
o
Note: if you cannot travel to observe a group or community, plan to observe that community digitally through website documents, social media, and/or emails exchanged with group members.
· Convey insight into the characteristics that give the group unique significance.
· Provide context and background, including location, values, beliefs, histories, rituals, dialogue, and any other details that help convey the group's significance.
· Follow a deliberate organizational pattern that focuses on one or more insights about the group while also providing details and information about the group's culture and routine
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Ethnographies also draw out the unique, interesting, and special qualities of a group or culture that help readers connect to their values or motivations. Note: Please keep in mind that writing in this class is public, and anything you write about may be shared with other students and instructors. Please only write about details that you are comfortable making public within our classroom community.
Assignment Components
In order to finish this project, we will work on the following parts together over the next few weeks:
Draft
: Include at least one pre-revised draft of your essay. The draft needs to meet the word count of 850 words and must also apply formatting requirements for the project—in other words it must be complete. Make sure that your.

Learning Preferences of Millennials in a Knowledge-Based

Abstract: This paper discusses how understanding intergenerational knowledge transfer can improve knowledge transfer in
large organizations. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) risks significant loss of institutional human capital as huge
numbers of senior controllers retire. To perform their job, air traffic controllers must develop in-depth knowledge, including
tacit knowledge typically acquired over many years, so they can quickly make accurate decisions while dealing with the many
air traffic control (ATC) situations that arise. The only pool available to replace the retiring controllers is the Millennials. This
group, the best educated ever, has its own attitudes toward life, work, and training as well as technology use. Because
knowledge transfer and training involve both technology and human interaction, this paper explores not only the role of
technology but also that of intergenerational communications in both the training and operational environments of a highly
technical workplace.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The availability and security of many services we rely upon—
including water treatment,
electricity, healthcare, transportation, and financial
transactions—are routinely put at risk
by cyber threats. The Handbook of SCADA/Control Systems
Security is a fundamental outline
of security concepts, methodologies, and relevant information
pertaining to the supervisory
4. control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and technology
that quietly operate in the
background of critical utility and industrial facilities
worldwide.
Divided into five sections, the book examines topics comprising
functions within and
throughout industrial control systems (ICS) environments.
Topics include
•Emerging trends and threat factors that plague the ICS security
community
•Risk methodologies and principles that can be applied to
safeguard and secure
an automated operation
•Methods for determining events leading to a cyber incident,
and methods for restoring and
mitigating issues—including the importance of critical
communications
•The necessity and reasoning behind implementing a governance
or compliance program
•A strategic roadmap for the development of a secured
SCADA/control systems
environment, with examples
•Relevant issues concerning the maintenance, patching, and
physical localities
of ICS equipment
•How to conduct training exercises for SCADA/control systems
The final chapters outline the data relied upon for accurate
5. processing, discusses
emerging issues with data overload, and provides insight into
the possible future direction of
ISC security.
The book supplies crucial information for securing industrial
automation/process control
systems as part of a critical infrastructure protection program.
The content has global
applications for securing essential governmental and economic
systems that have evolved
into present-day security nightmares. The authors present a
“best practices” approach to
securing business management environments at the strategic,
tactical, and operational levels.

Foreword
KLAATU BARADA NIKTO
Increasingly, the services we rely on in our daily life, such as
water treatment, electricity
generation and transmission, healthcare, transportation, and
financial transactions,
depend on an underlying information technology and
communications infrastructure.
Cyber threats put the availability and security of these services
at risk.
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY . . .
The world faces a combination of known and unknown system
vulnerabilities,
a strong and rapidly expanding adversarial capability, and a
lack of comprehensive
threat and vulnerability awareness. Within this dynamic
14. environment, both gov-
ernments and private sector companies are confronted with
threats that are more
targeted, more sophisticated, and more serious.
Sensitive information including classified government data and
proprietary
data from private companies is routinely stolen. This
undermines our confidence
in information systems security and the ability to protect our
privacy. As bad as
the loss of this intellectual capital is, we increasingly face even
greater threats
that could significantly compromise the accessibility and
reliability of our critical
infrastructure.
Malicious actors in cyberspace, including nation states, terrorist
networks, and
organized criminal groups, are capable of targeting elements of
the U.S. critical
infrastructure to disrupt or destroy systems upon which we
depend. Stated motives
include intelligence collection; theft of intellectual property,
personal identity, or
financial data; disruption of commercial activities; or cyber
terrorism. Criminal ele-
ments continue to show increasing levels of sophistication in
their technical and
targeting capabilities and have shown a willingness to sell these
capabilities on
the underground market. In addition, terrorist groups and their
sympathizers have
expressed interest in using cyberspace to target and harm the
United States and its
citizens. Although they may lack their own capability, the tools
15. and techniques are
available for purchase. This generates a very real threat to the
stability and resilience
of our critical control systems.
Malicious cyber activity can instantaneously result in virtual or
physical conse-
quences that threaten national and economic security, critical
infrastructure, and
public health and welfare. Similarly, stealthy intruders have laid
a hidden foundation
for future exploitation or attack, which they can then execute at
their leisure—and
at a time of great advantage to their cause. Securing cyberspace
requires a layered
security approach across the public and private sectors. The
current reliance on
perimeter defense as a single solution provides a false sense of
security. Similar to
the Maginot line, this approach is predicated on predictable
actions on the part of
IT-EBOOKS.DIRECTORY
http://www.it-ebooks.directory/
x Foreword
our adversaries. Once the attacker figures how to drive to
Belgium and the Ardennes,
it is too late for the system. The landscape requires a fresh
approach of defense in
depth along with an active defense posture and capability.
DARMOK, AND JALAD . . . AT TANAGRA
16. By investing in both public and private sector ventures, the
government and industry
can establish centers that serve as “always on facilities” for
cyber incident response
and management. This enables the centers to provide
“actionable intelligence” for
asset owners, operators, and government agencies.
President Obama’s Cyberspace Policy Review called for “a
comprehensive frame-
work to facilitate coordinated responses by government, the
private sector, and allies to
a significant cyber incident.” With the federal government and
private industry working
together to develop joint incident response capabilities, these
goals may be achieved.
The approach requires vigilance and a voluntary public/private
partnership in order to
build the capability and relationships necessary to combat the
growing cyber threat.
In addition to identifying threats and vulnerabilities, specific
work must be
conducted by asset owners and operators with the assistance of
the vendor com-
munity to develop mitigation plans to enhance security. This
includes the need to
evaluate the interdependencies across critical infrastructure
sectors. For example,
the electric, nuclear, water, transportation, and communications
sectors support
functions across all levels of government and the private sector.
Government bodies
and organizations do not inherently produce these services and
must rely on private
17. sector organizations, just as other businesses and private
citizens do. Therefore, an
event impacting control systems has potential implications at all
levels and could also
have cascading effects upon our ability to conduct commerce or
generate life-giving
services.
Assessing risk and effectively securing industrial control
systems are vital to
maintaining our nation’s strategic interests, public safety, and
economic well-being.
A successful cyber attack on a control system could result in
physical damage, loss of
life, and cascading effects that could disrupt services for a
prolonged period of time.
We all must recognize that the protection and security of
control systems are essential
to the nation’s overarching security and economy. A real-world
threat emerged that
significantly changed the landscape of targeted cyber attacks on
industrial control
systems. Malicious code, dubbed Stuxnet, was detected in July
2010. Analysis con-
cluded that this highly complex code was the first of its kind,
written to specifically
target mission-critical control systems running a specific
combination of software and
hardware. The analysis quickly uncovered that sophisticated
malware of this type has
the ability to gain access to secure systems, steal detailed
proprietary information,
conduct reconnaissance, and manipulate the systems that
operate mission-critical
processes within the nation’s infrastructure. In other words, this
code can automati-
18. cally enter a system, steal the formula for the product being
manufactured, alter the
ingredients being mixed in the product, and indicate to the
operator and the opera-
tor’s defenses that everything is functioning normally. Looking
ahead, there is a deep
concern that attackers could use the information about the code
to develop variants
targeted at broader installations of programmable equipment in
control systems.

xiForeword
LACKING A SILVER BULLET
Overcoming new cybersecurity challenges requires a
coordinated and focused
approach to better secure the nation’s information and
communications infrastruc-
tures. No single government agency has sole responsibility for
securing cyberspace,
and the success of our cybersecurity mission relies on effective
communication and
critical partnerships. Private industry owns and operates the
vast majority of the
nation’s critical infrastructure and cyber networks; therefore,
the private sector plays
an important role in cybersecurity.
Set within an environment characterized by a dangerous
combination of known
19. and unknown vulnerabilities, strong and rapidly expanding
adversary capabilities,
and a lack of comprehensive threat and vulnerability awareness,
the cybersecurity
mission is truly a national one requiring broad collaboration.
Cybersecurity is criti-
cal to ensure that the government, businesses, and the public
can continue to use the
information technology and communications infrastructure on
which they depend.
We must continue to engage and collaborate in order to provide
analysis, vulner-
ability, and mitigation assistance across the broad spectrum of
industrial control
systems. We must work closely with the international
community in order to mitigate
the risk on a global scale.

Synopses of Chapters
This book is divided into five sections, the first four each
consisting of several chapters
that represent groupings of topics, which emphasize those topics
comprising functions
within and throughout ICS environments, and the fifth
consisting of conclusions.
These topics are categorically subdivided into unique and
prioritized levels,
beginning with Section I and its subsequent chapters, building
up to Section II, etc.
Each subsequent section emphasizes a different meaning that is
being conveyed such
that it can be structured and remembered in an easy, cognitive
fashion. The listing of
each section and its corresponding chapters (with a brief
summary of its description
and function) is provided below.
SECTION I—SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS AND IMPACTS
Chapter 1—IntroduCtIon
This chapter provides the base for the entire book and describes
22. some of the historical
backgrounds of industrial control systems (ICS) and why it is
important to the
critical infrastructures worldwide. There are some terms and
definitions covering a
brief synopsis of the intent of this book and what is to be
expected from professionals
who are emerging within the ICS security community.
Chapter 2—SoCIologICal and Cultural aSpeCtS
This chapter is more theoretical than most in that it identifies
both background and
emerging trends in direction of the ICS security community.
Some of the issues,
which continue to plague the ICS security community, are the
differences between
the engineering and IT communities, and lack of proper
coordination and communi-
cation between the two groups. This chapter reflects this current
trend, along with
other factors involving the paradigm shift from engineering to
IT within the ICS
security community.
Chapter 3—threat VeCtorS
This chapter outlines threat factors, both internally as well as
externally, to a given
automated operation. Some of the factors include identifying
motivational aspects
and why an adversary would attempt at disrupting, perhaps even
destroying a given
automated operation.
Chapter 4—rISk ManageMent
23. This chapter applies both common and not-so-common risk
methodologies and
principles that can be applied to safeguard and secure an
automated operation.
The aim of this chapter is to provide a fundamental
understanding of what risk
IT-EBOOKS.DIRECTORY
http://www.it-ebooks.directory/
xvi Synopses of Chapters
is within the plant, and how disruption can potentially cause
near or completely
catastrophic events to occur.
SECTION II—GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Chapter 5—dISaSter reCoVery and BuSIneSS ContInuIty of
SCada
This chapter discusses methods for restoring and mitigating
issues involving a
“cyber incident.” Essentially, this chapter answers “what if”
questions by providing
a roadmap to the management of recovering automated
operations to the state before
the “cyber incident” occur. The other half provides the “how”
questions as to what
would keep the automated operations going.
Chapter 6—InCIdent reSponSe and SCada
24. This chapter outlines what steps to be performed resulting from
a “cyber incident”;
how management within the organization is informed; if
regulated, how communi-
cations should be made to the regulating organization; and so
forth.
Chapter 7—forenSICS ManageMent
This chapter identifies methods of determination of events
leading to a “cyber
incident”; this includes best practices that should be applicable
within any given
automated operation, and how this can assist the asset owner in
deterministic analysis.
Chapter 8—goVernanCe and CoMplIanCe
This chapter outlines the importance and reasoning behind
implementing a
governance or compliance program, and how it impacts
SCADA and control
systems environments. More critical infrastructure
organizations are having regula-
tory requirements or guidelines imposed on them, which limit or
dictate course of
operation. This chapter will outline the challenges and issues
(and perhaps solutions)
encountered within those operation environments.
SECTION III—ARCHITECTURE AND MODELING
Chapter 9—CoMMunICatIonS and engIneerIng SySteMS
This chapter outlines the necessity for good communications
within and throughout
25. the control systems environments, while at the same time,
outlining fundamental
engineering concepts and reasons for those environments, as
well as general impacts
and interactions with business and IT systems’ environments.
Chapter 10—MetrICS fraMework for a SCada SySteM
This chapter provides a strategic “roadmap” toward the
development of a secured
SCADA/control systems environment, and what it entails.
IT-EBOOKS.DIRECTORY
http://www.it-ebooks.directory/
xviiSynopses of Chapters
Chapter 11—network topology and IMpleMentatIon
This chapter provides some generic, non-industry specific
examples of how an ICS
network is defined and configured. Examples are non-hardware
manufacturer specific,
and represent general rather than specific functions that
encompass an ICS network.
It also provides more specific functionalities involved within an
ICS network and
identifies key component systems that are required to secure an
ICS network, and
why they are important.
SECTION IV—COMMISSIONING AND OPERATIONS
Chapter 12—oBSoleSCenCe and proCureMent of SCada
26. This chapter identifies current issues with ICS environments
and some of the issues
faced by lack of maintaining ICS equipment and keeping them
up-to-date.
Chapter 13—patChIng and Change ManageMent
This chapter follows the obsolescence chapter, and why it is
important to patch ICS
equipment. Many of the issues that most public utilities are
currently facing today
involve either obsolescence issues, or more specifically, lack of
patching of key
and critical systems to plant operations. Recent malware
outbreaks, such as what
occurred with Stuxnet, have caused many ICS security
professionals to re-evaluate
patching methodologies within their plant operations.
Chapter 14—phySICal SeCurIty ManageMent
Just because ICS equipment is located within a plant or secured
facility, it does not
mean that there are not insider threats. This chapter provides a
perspective insofar as
to physical localities of ICS equipment, and how physical
security is an integral part
to the holistic management of a plant.
Chapter 15—taBletop/red–Blue exerCISeS
This chapter discusses one of the aspects of how to conduct
training exercises for
SCADA/control systems and to provide as close to “real-life”
scenarios as possible. For
27. a tabletop exercise, the chapter outlines what is involved, and
how and what to set up
and configure for this type of exercise. For the red–blue
exercise, it describes a current
program offered through the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security to owner/operators
of SCADA/control systems, by giving students a simulated
example through the disrup-
tion of real systems, without any consequence or impact to real
critical infrastructures.
Chapter 16—IntegrIty MonItorIng
This chapter outlines the data that is relied upon for accurate
processing and also
discusses how objectives such as access rights, the integrity of
operations, and data
and reporting must be both valid and consistent.
IT-EBOOKS.DIRECTORY
http://www.it-ebooks.directory/
xviii Synopses of Chapters
Chapter 17—data ManageMent and reCordS retentIon
This chapter provides some of the emerging issues with “data
overload,” especially
the logging requirements that are emerging for many
cybersecurity regulations and
compliance guidelines today. The issue is what is important to
retain, and why do
organizations need to retain that data?
28. SECTION V—CONCLUSION
Chapter 18—the future of SCada and Control SySteMS SeCurIty
This chapter provides a “future thought” in terms of one or two
possible directions
that ICS security can go. The authors and editors identify 5- and
10-year directions
and what might be different in the future.

29. States with knowledge
in security, risk management, business continuity, disaster
recovery planning, and
remediation. He obtained his master’s degree in computer
science from DePaul
University in Chicago, and has significantly contributed toward
establishing several
certification programs, specifically on the topics of critical
infrastructure protection
and critical infrastructure assurance.
Robert has special interest and knowledge in matters of critical
infrastructure and
has published a number of articles and white papers regarding
this topic. Although
he has been significantly involved in establishing security
training and awareness
programs through his company, Infracritical, his extracurricular
activities include
working for several professional accreditation and educational
institutions on the
topics of homeland security, critical infrastructure protection
and assurance, and
cyber security. He is the owner of, and one of the lead
moderators to, the SCADASEC

Working Group, both
of which working groups are part of President Obama’s Cyber
30. Security Initiative.
Robert’s first book, Critical Infrastructure: Homeland Security
and Emergency
Preparedness (released May 2006), is a reference work dealing
with emergency
management and preparedness and defines (in greater detail)
what critical infra-
structure protection is; his second book, Transportation Systems
Security (released
May 2008), was designed to educate mid-level management (or
higher) about aspects
of holistic security analysis and management of the
transportation sector; his third
book, Critical Infrastructure: Homeland Security and
Emergency Preparedness,
Second Edition (released December 2009), coauthored with
Allan McDougall,
further evolves and incorporates critical infrastructure
assurance as part of the
critical infrastructure protection model. Robert and Allan have
been invited to write
a third edition of their book on critical infrastructure assurance
and protection.
