IEEE Tech Talk – control system device cyber security is missing in government and engineering societies
December 14, 2021, I was honored to give an IEEE Tech Talk to the Seattle Chapter of the IEEE Power and Energy Society on control system cyber security. The link to the recording is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZqkCC6wqcE . Even the most sophisticated engineering associations can suffer from blind spots when it comes to the complex interactions of multi-level systems. This is especially true when situations like cyber security bring together organizations with different goals, nomenclature, etc. In this case, networking and engineering attempting to secure engineering networks have not addressed the Level 0,1 engineering devices (process sensors, actuators, drives, etc.). The major engineering societies have missed this gap in their focus to secure networks. Additionally, the IT networking societies should not be making recommendations for securing control systems without assuring that recommendations for IT will not cause harm to control systems as has happened in the past.

- Utility industry continues to deny that control system cyber incidents are occurring
- Control system cyber incidents in electric and other sectors are frequent, often impactful, but not reported
- March 10, 2022 presentation to the US Air Force Cyber College on process sensor cyber security
- It is not possible to meet Senate cyber disclosure requirements or CISA OT recommendations

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
