    Hi All,

    The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has published NIST SP 1800-10, Protecting Information and System Integrity in Industrial Control System Environments: Cybersecurity for the Manufacturing Sector.

    Bolstering Cyber Defenses to Protect Manufacturing Systems and Information
    Manufacturing organizations rely on industrial control systems (ICS) to monitor and control their machinery, production lines, and other physical processes that produce goods. To stay competitive, manufacturers are connecting their operational technology (OT) systems to their information technology (IT) systems to enhance their business processes and capabilities.

    Although the integration of IT and OT networks is helping manufacturers boost productivity and gain efficiencies, it has also provided malicious actors a fertile landscape where they can exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities to compromise the integrity of ICS and ICS data.

    The NCCoE practice guide features example solutions and how-to guidance for using commercially available technology to help organizations:

    detect and prevent unauthorized software installation
    protect ICS networks from potentially harmful applications
    determine changes made to a network using change management tools
    detect unauthorized use of systems
    continuously monitor network traffic
    leverage malware tools
