Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is generally considered as an information security topic, often associated with personal data and information databases: collecting, exposing, corrupting, or deleting these data. However, it is a more global problem, and related to broader aspects, such as controlling cyber-systems. In ICS, the topic of cybersecurity is considered at the operational and responsible level as a secondary threat, and much more as an IT problem. This premise has proven to lead to substantial losses. For example, dangerous aspects in some installation can stress the cybersecurity in ICS, for instance, plants dealing with hazardous materials, as the attackers can take over control of the production lines. This chapter encapsulates points in common on the topic of cybersecurity in IT and ICS. IT has already devoted significant resources into cyber-threats. ICS has yet to do so. To do so, authors review a number of papers dealing with the same topic.
