Critical infrastructure owners must consider how their supervisory control and acquisition systems (SCADA) and physical asset systems are resilient by design in the face of cyber incidents. The escalation of control system-based cyber incidents coupled with the natural evolution of engineering practices has inadvertently removed cyber-physical protections from our water and wastewater systems resulting in an increased cyber risk to our assets, people, and operations. Developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), consequence-driven, cyber-informed engineering (CCE) is an emerging methodology specifically designed to improve the security and cyber-physical resilience of critical infrastructure control systems. West Yost staff have been working with utilities across the U.S. to conduct CCE-related assessments, emergency preparedness exercises, and improvement engineering practices. This presentation will provide attendees with ideas and knowledge to pursue CCE within their organizations.
