Security- Industry's New Challenge
Digital Control Systems and their associated industrial networks/protocols are extending the depth to which bi-directional communications extend throughout an enterprise. In many cases, the underlying technology for the business network and the process control network are the same. Consequently, many of the risks that are found in today's corporate or business environments can now impact the reliable operation of the process control system. This page and the links highlight some of the vulnerabilities, their sources and remedies that the modern integrated control system needs to address.
7.10 Securing
Legacy Control Systems - Peter Welander - Very few of the process
control platforms operating today were installed with any cyber security
protection built in. Most predate wide deployment of the Internet. Can these
systems be protected against today's threats?. Thanks to Control
Engineering.

Security: Meeting Threats to the Offshore Oil and Gas
Industry - This paper covers challenges
faced by the oil & gas industry in securing its vital offshore production
assets. It discusses key requirements for an effective platform security
strategy, and describes the latest technology enabling an integrated security
management system - from Honeywell.
Cyber Security And The Pipeline Control System - Eric J. Byres - Sound strategy, regardless of whether it is for military, physical or cyber security, relies on the concept of “defense in depth.” Effective security is created by layering multiple security solutions so that if one is bypassed another will provide the defense. This means not overrelying on any single technology such as a firewall. Firewalls aren’t bad technology. In fact, they are a fantastic tool in the security toolbox. But, industry has misused them by believing they will solve all security - from Tofino Security.
Process Control System Security-Max Rockliff-Principal PCS Security Engineer-Plexal Group- This excellent 22 page white paper is a good starting place for anyone looking for information on Control system security.
Chemical industry gets serious about security: Perfecting programs, educating users - Ellen Fussell Policastro - This excellent article describes how the industry is sharing its knowledge about security and helping manufacturers build their fortresses, to not only comply with new government regulations, but to enhance the overall security of control systems throughout the industry - ISA and InTech
