This is a two-part presentation. Eric Byres of BCIT will present the latest data and threat conclusions from their Industrial Security Incident Database. The early information presented in a paper last year introduced some interesting hypotheses, including a shift in the common attack profile from insider to outsider. The conclusions were restricted by limited data, but over a year later there are a lot more incidents to include in the study. What is the real threat?

Part two of this presentation answers a question I’m asked all the time - - where do we stand compared to our industry group? Newton-Evans has just completed a survey on utility cyber security measures. What are your peers doing to protect their control systems? Are you ahead or behind the average control system? Get a sneak peak at the 2005 survey results.
