Blending Onsite and Lab Testing Improves ICS Security

🔗 Blending Onsite and Lab Testing Enhances ICS Security. A combined approach to testing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is essential for uncovering vulnerabilities effectively. Onsite testing is risk-averse and often only identifies known issues, while lab testing allows for more aggressive techniques that reveal deeper vulnerabilities. By first conducting a design review and asset inventory, organizations can prioritize which devices require lab testing based on their criticality to network security. This method not only enhances the identification of potential threats but also ensures a safer and more cost-effective testing process. Real-world examples demonstrate the importance of thorough network mapping and collaboration with onsite staff to uncover hidden risks, ultimately leading to significant improvements in ICS security protocols.
