Selected Issues of Cyber Security Practices in CBRNeCy Critical Infrastructure

The article highlights the strong relevance and crucial importance of cyber security defence and response capacities in CBRNeCy assets and management, including in ICS and SCADA systems. Based on the overview of the recent cyber security publications and available information on global cybercrime, it reviews types of cyber and cyber related physical attacks on CBRN Industrial Control Systems; classifies attack types and defence techniques by network layer of attack; analyses security testing approaches based on knowledge of the targeted system, and evaluates types of due protection. The proper combination of existing physical security measures and cyber security testing exercises is considered, by the authors, as one of the most efficient ways to ensure sufficient protection against increasing global cyber threats to CBRNeCy infrastructures. The paper deals also with the best security practises, and contains enumeration of the globally recognized testing techniques and methodologies required to design effective multi-disciplinary security measures, thus providing a substantial ground for their practical implementation in the areas of concern.
