The document discusses the growing need for strong security in networks. Modern SCADA networks are more vulnerable than ever due to their use of open standards like TCP/IP, deployment on less secure operating systems like Windows, connections to other networks and the internet, and inability to be easily updated. A typical US organization experiences over a million external probes to their primary network per week. Cybercrime was estimated to have a $1 trillion economy in 2010 and the number of attacks are growing exponentially. The document advocates for implementing general security principles and utilizing a complete security solution to address threats from both external and internal sources.

YOU THINK SECURITY IS IMPROVING IN KEY
NETWORKS? THINK AGAIN!
Extract from McAfee Avert Labs researcher Francois Paget's blog:
"…Modern SCADA networks are more vulnerable
than ever because they use open networking standards
(such as TCP/IP), are now deployed under less secure
operating systems (Windows), are connected to other
networks (including Internet), and cannot be easily
updated and rebooted."

WHY IS STRONGER SECURITY BECOMING A MUST?!
For example,
The U.S. State Dept. detects in a typical week over
a million external probes to their primary
non-classified network
• 340,000 computers are hijacked every day
Cybercrime economy was estimated at over
$1 trillion in 2010
Number of attacks are growing exponentially

YOU THINK STRONG SECURITY IS JUST FOR MILITARY?
