Cyber Security - Consultancy for Process Control (ICS / OT)

The risk of a cyber attack on the Process Control Systems (Integrated Control Systems – ICS) or OT area are increasing daily and the resilience of these systems is low. Various make (OEM), the age of the system, obsolescence and the integrated solutions make the system vulnerable.

The system complexity, OEM dependens and the missing overview, leave many area’s unknowingly unprotected.

 

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY:

Cyber Security has become a management issue, but an understanding of the matter is often still limited. Through Management Consultancy the top of organisation can be guided and risks, programs and budget can be drafted.

FEED STUDY:

The complexity of the ICS, procedures and human interfaces will require a preliminary study, providing the outline of the change program, the steps and cost estimate. In a FEED these will be identified through risk assessments and mitigation models, resulting in a comprehensive plan for hardening of the system. Hardening is a complex combination of, policy, procedure, system solutions, hard & software solutions and risk awareness. Each project is unique and an explicit transformation and change management process.

Knowledge of the specific risk areas and the management of supplier information are key to the success of this all determining phase.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY

Experience has proven that the normal project execution models are inefficient ICS Cyber Security hardening, as this is a combination of procedures, hard- & software solutions, human interfaces, auditing and maintenance. A PMC structure strengthening clients organisation in the implementation of the Cyber Security solution is the best step forwards.

Project lead by main OEM (often DCS supplier) miss the overall system approach, as they are limited by their own system knowledge only.

MAINTENANCE

ICS are subject to obsolescence and upgrade and the cyber attacks are progressing constantly, hence the system is at constant risk. Auditing and maintenance with status feedback to management and the for the system are required, to keep the ICS on the required resilience level.

Program and procedures for system resilience test, system change engineering and procedure changes are part of the testing & maintenance of the ICS.
