Two cybersecurity researchers at Idaho National Laboratory have published a new book to help train employees at public utilities to recognize cybersecurity vulnerabilities and develop measures to defend their networks from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
Countering Cyber Sabotage: Introducing Consequence-Driven, Cyber-Informed Engineering, written by Andy Bochman and Sarah Freeman, details INL s innovative approach to securing critical infrastructure systems like the electric power grid, oil and natural gas refineries and water treatment facilities. Developed in the pre-internet era, much of the technology responsible for controlling operations at many public utilities is often decades-old and lacks modern defense capabilities. This makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks ranging from ransomware threats to significant service disruptions.
