Cyber-informed engineering (CIE) in critical infrastructure shifts focus from solely protecting networks to engineering controls that prevent catastrophic physical consequences despite cyber compromise. This approach incorporates analog safeguards like mechanical interlocks and hardwired trips, integrating cyber risk into traditional process-hazard and protection analysis standards.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must build analog failsafes into your industrial control systems to stop cyberattacks causing physical harm. Digital security gaps no longer just mean network breaches but direct operational shutdowns you can engineer out.
