(CS)2AI-KPMG Control System Cyber Security Report (2020) - Part 1: Report Introduction

I am proud to announce the availability of the very first (CS)2AI-KPMG Control System Cyber Security Annual Report. 

The report was based on survey results from industry members at large and a representative sample of (CS)2AI‘s worldwide membership (approaching 19,000 members today), with questions regarding control system security events, trends in attack activities and protective technologies, and how organizations are adapting to changes in the threat landscape. 

This comprehensive resource is the result of significant participation from our Strategic Alliance Partner, KPMG, who we owe a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to for helping bring this to life. We must also thank Airbus CyberSecurity, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and Waterfall Security Solutions for their important contributions to both the research phase and the final report. Through their direct support of (CS)2AI and this joint project, these companies continue to demonstrate their commitment to help solve the challenges the control systems cyber security workforce face today.

I also want to express our gratitude to the report steering committee members and (CS)2AI Fellows many whom also spent significant hours pondering the exact questions before we launched the survey and each iteration of the report draft. Finally, I want to thank all of you who participated in this research for the benefit of others; without whom there is no crowd wisdom to gather, study and share back with the community. This is yet another (CS)2AI "Members helping Members" initiative.

I sincerely hope many find this report valuable and we welcome feedback of all types. Though we'd all love to hear positive things, constructive criticism is also a necessary ingredient to making this resource the best it can be. For feedback or if you want to get involved in the 2021 report project, please send me a message.
