In a world where critical infrastructure is becoming the primary target of cyberattacks, industrial cybersecurity is no longer an option: it is a strategic imperative. This comprehensive, structured, and operational reference book provides technical foundations, real-world attack case studies, international standards, and practical methods to secure ICS, SCADA, DCS, PLC, OT, and Industry 4.0 environments. Written for engineers, technicians, OT/IT consultants, CISOs, and critical infrastructure operators, this massive 800-page guide offers a clear, detailed, and immediately actionable vision of industrial cyber resilience. What you will learn in this book: · Industrial systems explained simply: SCADA, ICS, DCS, PLC, HMI, real-time networks. Understand their architecture, protocols, and vulnerabilities. · Major OT cyberattacks analyzed in depth: Stuxnet, BlackEnergy, Triton/Trisis, Colonial Pipeline. How they worked, what they compromised, and key lessons learned. · Building a robust Defense in Depth: Segmentation, zones & conduits, Purdue model, industrial firewalls, OT IDS/IPS, equipment hardening, whitelisting, access policies, OT zero-trust. · Mastering key standards and frameworks: ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, NIS 2 Directive (requirements and resilience), ISO 27001/27019, and NERC CIP. · Securing modern environments: IIoT, connected sensors, industrial cloud, digital twins, virtualization, Industry 4.0. Your field tools included: · Essential OT audit checklists: Network security, PLCs, HMIs, access management, SCADA hardening, physical security. · Complete OT incident response playbook: Decision trees, containment, OT forensics, recovery, crisis management, emergency procedures. Why is this book different? Unlike purely theoretical manuals, this guide delivers real-world examples, concrete architectures, immediately applicable procedures, and an exhaustive analysis of modern standards. It is both a daily workbench tool and an essential reference guide. Whether you are an engineer, a decision-maker, or your organization is subject to NIS 2, you will find here all the key resources to protect your industrial systems and strengthen your cyber resilience.
