Wireless is not the only cyber vulnerable technology

Jan. 20, 2009
Last week, I attended the ISA 100 Wireless meeting in Mt. View including the Trusted Wireless Interest Group (TWIG) meeting. There were several very good presentations on different aspects of security. However, none were specific to wireless. Additionally, having this discussion in the TWIG further reinforces the spurious impression that only wireless is cyber vulnerable. The TWIG should be the Trusted Industrial Control Systems Interest Group and be a joint ISA99 and ISA100 effort.
