The Department of Defense (DOD) relies on millions of industrial control systems (ICS) to provide real-time automated monitoring and management of systems important to military readiness. These ICS regulate essential services including fuel pipelines, electricity distribution, and facility security.
ICS are important for their ease of remote access for maintenance, the ability to monitor for malicious behavior, and improved situational awareness of key infrastructure. These systems can also be the target of cyber physical attacks.
