Industrial Network Security: Securing Critical Infrastructure Networks for Smart Grid, SCADA, and Other Industrial Control Systems

Fantastic Book

Takes what is both a dry and exciting (if you work in the ICS world) subject matter and makes it considerably accessible to the reader. Covers the range of subjects you would hope to have covered. I've learned a great deal of information from this book that's helped me with my work, day-to-day. Of such a small field, this book stands out as a rare and worthy work. Glad I bought it, glad I read it. Would be great if it received an update to keep on top of this fast moving world.

As an engineer I thought I could learn something practical industrial cyber security with this book, not really. It is informative, but it stays completely on the surface and it's full of lists that mean nothing to me, without a more comprehensive explanation or example.

Very comprehensive, and very well written. A must for those starting to dive into OT!

Fantastic introduction to the world of ICS. Joel and Eric do a great job highlighting the differences between standard IT security and applying it to the OT environment. The book includes a great rundown of the various fieldbus protocols (Modbus, DNP3 et al.) You also get an excellent introduction into the architecture of the Smart Grid. I highly recommend this as a first ICS book for anybody.

Very interesting and useful book. Good to deepen and strengthen your IT and ICS security knowledge. It's worth reading it.

If you work in the field of Industrial Cybersecurity, get this book. Good for both beginners and experts alike, it brings together all the relevant topics and materials in a meaningful and practical way. I wade through a lot of books, articles, best-practice whitepapers and industry standards, and this book is still the best overall compilation of what you need to know about and think about for ICS security. I require a copy for each person on my staff. It’s especially helpful to IT folks who are entering the world of OT security. Now, if I can only get the Engineers to read it … Seriously, it’s excellent. Highly recommend.
