When you ask IT cyber experts about their focus, they correctly say: CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability). Some Industrial Control Systems (ICS) experts still struggle by saying: hmm, hmm, hmm and try rotating these letters to AIC, IAC, etc., which are all incorrect. The correct answer is SRP (Safety Reliability, Productivity-Business Continuity). If you wish diving deeper and understand the details, see the following:
Safety – The ICS architecture is correctly design and no software bug, hardware failure, sensor problem, incorrect action by authorized person or internal or external cyber attack might push the system to unstable, risky, unsafe condition.
Reliability – The ICS architecture design assures that the entire plan is working reliable, without failure and not cause uncontrolled outage due to any reason.
Productivity – This factor is paying the operation cost of the plant and deliver the requested profit level. If this goal is achieved, it helps to achieve the business continuity goal as well.

4 年Indeed you must not say ICA, AIC but clearly and loudly say SRP. Obviously in order to assure operating safety. You must also remember that Cyber security and data integrity are a critical precondition to safety. Physical security and zoning are critical precondition to all your concerns.
