As the sophistication of cyber-attacks increases, understanding how to defend critical infrastructure systems—energy production, water, gas, and other vital systems—becomes more important, and heavily mandated.
Industrial Network Security, Third Edition
arms you with the knowledge you need to understand the vulnerabilities of these distributed supervisory and control systems.
Author Eric Knapp examines the unique protocols and applications that are the foundation of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and provides clear guidelines for their protection. This comprehensive reference gives you thorough understanding of the challenges facing critical infrastructures, new guidelines and security measures for infrastructure protection, knowledge of new and evolving security tools, and pointers on SCADA protocols and security implementation.

Eric Knapp is a globally recognized expert in industrial control systems cyber security and continues to drive the adoption of new security technology to promote safer and more reliable automation infrastructures. He first specialized in ICS cyber security while at Nitrosecurity, where he focused on threats against these environments. He was later responsible for the development and implementation of end-to-end ICS cyber security solutions for McAfee in his role as Global Director for Critical Infrastructure Markets. He is currently Director of Strategic Alliances for Wurldtech Security Technologies, where he continues to promote the advancement of embedded security technology to better protect SCADA, ICS and other connected, real-time devices. In addition to his work in information security, he is an award-winning author of fiction. He studied at the University of New Hampshire and the University of London.
