A unified foundation for factory, process and building automation. The new BSI compendium covers all aspects of ICS security and OT security.
The compendium serves as a foundational work for securing industrial control and automation systems and is therefore an essential resource for both newcomers and experienced professionals in the field of Operational Technology (OT). The compendium provides basic knowledge and practical approaches to OT security, explains the processes within industrial control systems, and presents the relevant norms and standards.
The main goals of the revised compendium are to create a unified basis for various application areas such as factory automation, process control and building automation, and to deepen the understanding of the interrelationships between IT security measures and ICS components. Furthermore, it helps readers establish defined processes, implement initial measures and develop a methodology for conducting ICS audits.
This publication is an excellent opportunity to dive into the topic and to learn comprehensively about the latest security standards and best practices in OT.
