Around the world, SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems and other real-time process control networks run mission-critical infrastructure--everything from the power grid to water treatment, chemical manufacturing to transportation. These networks are at increasing risk due to the move from proprietary systems to more standard platforms and protocols and the interconnection to other networks. Because there has been limited attention paid to security, these systems are seen as largely unsecured and very vulnerable to attack.
This book addresses currently undocumented security issues affecting SCADA systems and overall critical infrastructure protection. The respective co-authors are among the leading experts in the world capable of addressing these related-but-independent concerns of SCADA security. Headline-making threats and countermeasures like malware, sidejacking, biometric applications, emergency communications, security awareness llanning, personnel & workplace preparedness and bomb threat planning will be addressed in detail in this one of a kind book-of-books dealing with the threats to critical infrastructure protection. They collectivly have over a century of expertise in their respective fields of infrastructure protection. Included among the contributing authors are Paul Henry, VP of Technology Evangelism, Secure Computing, Chet Hosmer, CEO and Chief Scientist at Wetstone Technologies, Phil Drake, Telecommunications Director, The Charlotte Observer, Patrice Bourgeois, Tenable Network Security, Sean Lowther, President, Stealth Awareness and Jim Windle, Bomb Squad Commander, CMPD.
* Internationally known experts provide a detailed discussion of the complexities of SCADA security and its impact on critical infrastructure
* Highly technical chapters on the latest vulnerabilities to SCADA and critical infrastructure and countermeasures
* Bonus chapters on security awareness training, bomb threat planning, emergency communications, employee safety and much more
* Companion Website featuring video interviews with subject matter experts offer a "sit-down" with the leaders in the field

Save your money and don't buy this book.
The reason for the worst, 1-star rating is this book is not about SCADA Security. It is a collection of general purpose IT security chapters written by a collection of authors that rarely even mention control systems. There is little control system experience in the authors, and the collection of articles approach lead to an uneven and poorly structured book.
It appears the publisher wanted a book on SCADA Security; had published other Techno Security books; and decided this was a quick way to get a book out and take advantage of interest in the field.
Most of the book appears to be slightly adapted work from other efforts. For example, Chapter 1 - Physical Security even mentions it is adapted from previous works. It covers key control, tailgating, employee badges and other physical security products. However, there is nothing, literally nothing, specific to ICS security in this chapter.
Even more baffling is an interview at the end of the chapter with the Telecommunication Manager of the Charlotte Observer. This is the expert the author interviews?
This is regrettable because physical security of ICS cyber assets is an underemphasized issue. He could have covered the need to protect Ethernet SCADA ports at unmanned remote sites or the challenges of limiting physical access to cyber assets in power or manufacturing plants where equipment rooms are accessed by a wide variety of personnel. Or how anyone with the right safety equipment has free run in most plants.
