From the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT)

THE CHANGE in the Nation’s critical infrastructure control systems environment has resulted in an increase in the number of vulnerabilities available to exploit, the available avenues for cyber attack, and the number of people capable of successfully executing a cyber attack.

This White Paper provides on overview and contact information on where control systems owners and operators can report, and obtain assistance with, control systems cyber security incidents and vulnerabilities. Future control systems cyber security focus papers in this series will present information on topics covering control system cyber threats, indications and warnings of control systems cyber attacks, recommendations for improving control systems security, ongoing control system cyber security initiatives by government agencies and private industry, and other relevant control systems cyber security topics.
