That hits close to home in my new position - the government is dragging a bit on getting its new regulations in order. Unfortunately too, the regulations - or the preliminary guesstimate regulations - do not go a long way in providing security as a whole but specifically target systems involved in power production, black start systems and other systems used in the direct management and monitoring of same. That leaves out the most likely to be attacked admin-type systems. I much prefer the DoD regulations though they may not go far enough either. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
