Ottawa should follow a U.S government program to have electric utilities carry out a so-called 100-day sprint look at and improve the readiness of their industrial control systems to resist cyberattacks, according to an expert in cybersecurity for critical systems. “It is absolutely something Canada should do,” Mark Fabro, president and chief security scientist at Lofty Perch, Inc., a Markham, Ont.-based consultancy, said in an interview. But, he emphasized, it shouldn’t be seen as an admission that industrial controls systems (ICS) on the operational technology (OT) side of the North American electrical system are in serious trouble.
