Incident Management for Industrial Control Systems

By: Durgesh Kalya

Overview of this book

Incident Management for Industrial Control Systems is a practical guide that highlights the vital role of effective incident response in protecting complex industrial environments. The author distills nearly two decades of experience in this book to explain the foundational role of critical infrastructure (CI), exploring the world of operational technology (OT), emphasizing Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and their evolving threat landscape. The book simplifies the complexities of incident command systems (ICSs) for CI, addressing emergency operations, specialized frameworks, and compliance standards. With actionable insights, it also guides you through drills, scenario planning, and improving response strategies across varied operational environments. You’ll gain practical experience in ICS-focused training and exercises, grounded in widely adopted industry frameworks. The chapters further discuss FEMA’s ICS, OT fundamentals, and the nuances of incident management standards. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid grasp of CI operations, core cybersecurity principles, and the dynamics of incident response across industrial control systems and broader OT environments. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Running an ICS Exercise

Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) environments present unique challenges when managing cybersecurity incidents and planning preparedness exercises. The Incident Command System (ICS) framework, developed by FEMA, provides a strong foundation for coordinating response and recovery. However, its direct application to IACS and Operational Technology (OT) settings often requires thoughtful adaptation.

In this chapter, we explore how organizations can leverage the core principles of the ICS while integrating specialized frameworks such as the SANS incident response methodology and other sector-specific standards to build a resilient and coordinated response posture. Additionally, we will look at how to build a structured exercise program that strengthens these capabilities through systematic planning, execution, and continuous improvement.

This chapter also includes a case study showing how ICS principles were applied during an exercise, highlighting...
