Book excerpt: Computerized control systems perform vital functions across many of our nation's critical infrastructures. For example, in natural gas distribution, they can monitor and control the pressure and flow of gas through pipelines; in the electric power industry, they can monitor and control the current and voltage of electricity through relays and circuit breakers; and in water treatment facilities, they can monitor and adjust water levels, pressure, and chemicals used for purification. In October 1997, the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection emphasized the increasing vulnerability of control systems to cyber attacks. The House Committee on Government Reform, Subcommittee on Technology, Information Policy, Intergovernmental Relations, and the Census asked GAO to testify on potential cyber vulnerabilities. GAO's testimony focused on (1) significant cybersecurity risks associated with control systems; (2) potential and reported cyber attacks against these systems; (3) key challenges to securing control systems; and (4) steps that can be taken to strengthen the security of control systems, including current federal and private-sector initiatives. In addition to general cyber threats, which have been steadily increasing, several factors have contributed to the escalation of the risks of cyber attacks against control systems. These include the adoption of standardized technologies with known vulnerabilities, the increased connectivity of control systems to other systems, constraints on the use of existing security technologies for control systems, and the wealth of information about them that is publicly available. Control systems can be vulnerable to a variety of attacks, examples of which have already occurred. Successful attacks on control systems could have devastating consequences, such as endangering public health and safety; damaging the environment; or causing a loss of production, generation, or distribution of public utilities. Securing control systems poses significant challenges, including technical limitations, perceived lack of economic justification, and conflicting organizational priorities. However, several steps can be taken now and in the future to promote better security in control systems, such as implementing effective security management programs and researching and developing new technologies. The government and private industry have initiated several efforts intended to improve the security of control systems.

This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control systems that regulate the nation¿s critical infrastructures face risks of cyber threats, system vulnerabilities, and potential attacks. Securing these systems is therefore vital to ensuring national security, economic well-being, and public health and safety. While most critical infrastructures are privately owned, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a fed. corp. and the nation¿s largest public power company, provides power and other services to a large swath of the American Southeast. This testimony discusses the security controls in place over TVA¿s critical infrastructure control system. The author examined the security practices in place at TVA facilities, and analyzed the agency¿s information security policies, plans, and procedures.

Book excerpt: I am pleased to be here today to discuss efforts to protect federal agency information systems and our nation's critical computer-dependent infrastructures. Federal agencies, and other public and private entities, rely extensively on computerized systems and electronic data to support their missions. Accordingly, the security of these systems and data is essential to avoiding disruptions in critical operations, data tampering, fraud, and inappropriate disclosure of sensitive information. Further, as the Comptroller General stated in testimony last week, protecting against computer-based attacks on critical infrastructures is an important aspect of homeland security.
