Research Triangle Park, NC (4 March 2010) - The International Society
of Automation (ISA) recently announced the release of Industrial Network Security,
2nd Edition by David J. Teumim.
This easy-to-read book introduces managers, engineers, technicians, and
operators to how to keep industrial networks secure amid rising threats from hackers,
disgruntled employees, and even cyberterrorists. It describes how commercial-off-the-
shelf (COTS) hardware and software moves into Industrial Networks as legacy
equipment is phased out. As described through the writer’s eyes in the new Chapter 9,
other industrial sectors (e.g., passenger rail) are coming up-to-speed on industrial
network security as COTS become commonplace in that sector’s control systems.
New cyber incidents and updated information have been added to the chapters without
changing the original format of this publication. Informative real-world case histories
are also included to give the reader different perspectives on how industrial network
security is viewed and applied.
David J. Teumim’s background includes corporate security and web project
management positions along with 15 years of process, project, control, and safety work.
He chaired ISA’s first technical conference on Industrial Network Security, taught the first
ISA seminar on this subject, and has chaired several ISA security conferences. |
