Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems: SCADA, DCS, PLC, HMI, and SIS
I had high hopes for this book since Bryan Singer is very experienced in ICS, ICS security, and IT security — and Bryan and co-author Tyson McCauley did not disappoint. To date this is clearly the best book on ICS Security by far. The two best things about this book are: 1) They got the facts right about both ICS and IT security. This is not as easy as it sounds as most books have failed or been simplistic in one area or another. 2) They provided the background information for a beginner to understand, but followed that up with significant technical detail and examples. It’s a good book for a beginner or intermediate in either area, and even those with years of experience in both areas will learn something. For me the best new info was the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Security OEE as a future risk assessment technique in Chapter 4. … I could go on and on as I highlighted sentences throughout the chapter and was muttering yes as I read. … This is clearly the book to get or give if you want to read about ICS security today.—Dale G Peterson, writing on www.digitalbond.com(For the full review, visit: http://www.digitalbond.com/2012/03/27/4-star-review-for-mccauleysinger-book-cybersecurity-for-ics/#more-11213)
