Overview of this book

As modern process facilities become increasingly sophisticated and vulnerable to cyber threats, securing critical infrastructure is more crucial than ever. This book offers an indispensable guide to industrial cybersecurity and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), vital for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical systems and protecting your operations, personnel, and assets. Starting with SIS design principles, the book delves into the architecture and protocols of safety networks. It provides hands-on experience identifying vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors, exploring how attackers might target SIS components. You’ll thoroughly analyze Key SIS technologies, threat modeling, and attack techniques targeting SIS controllers and engineer workstations. The book shows you how to secure Instrument Asset Management Systems (IAMS), implement physical security measures, and apply integrated risk management methodologies. It also covers compliance with emerging cybersecurity regulations and industry standards worldwide. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained practical insights into various risk assessment methodologies and a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively protect critical infrastructure.

Hacking Safety Instrumented Systems

The increasing complexity of modern Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) has opened up the doors to a number of new and emerging cybersecurity threats. As seen in the case of TRITON, BlackEnergy, Destroyer, and Stuxnet, to name but a few, advanced cyber attacks have the very real ability to cause major disruption and damage.

In response to these incidents, the process industry has been called upon to take greater preventive actions to ensure the ongoing security of these critical assets. However, too often, these initiatives have been temporary and compliance-oriented – as such, they have not fully addressed many of the underlying security issues.

Therefore, in order to protect mission critical systems such as ICSs and Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs), it is essential to understand potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with both. This chapter will examine various attack strategies employed by malicious actors, in the process...
