Manufacturers concerned about cyber security as it relates to plant equipment and factory automation systems should look at the new ‘ISA-99 Security Guidelines and User Resources for Industrial Automation and Control Systems’ CD-ROM.
There are two technical reports: ANSI/ISA-TR99.00.01-2004, ‘Security Technologies for Manufacturing and Control Systems’, and ANSI/ISA-TR99.00.02-2004, ‘Integrating Electronic Security into the Manufacturing and Control Systems Environment’.
The former provides an evaluation and assessment of current types of electronic security technologies and tools that apply to the manufacturing and control systems environment, including development, implementation, operations and maintenance.
The latter provides a framework for developing an electronic security programme and provides a recommended organisation and structure for the security plan. The information provides detailed information about the minimum elements to include.

Control Systems, Instrumentation Systems and Automation Security
A number of articles relating to Control Systems, Instrumentation Systems and Automation security can be found from the Instrumentation Systems and Automation site here.
Amongst the relavant articles are:
1. Making Cyber Security Work in the Refinery
2. Uncovering Cyber Flaws
3. SP99 Counterattacks
4. Securing the Power Grid . This article also has a good chronological chart on the 2003 power blackout in OHIO that crippled a part of the nation.
5. ISA99, Manufacturing and Control Systems Security ISA99 is a new standard for Manufacturing and Control Systems Security. The current edition covers only security technologies and their strengths/weaknesses in the manufacturing environment. Eventually this would be expanded to include traditional strengths and weaknesses of the different types of control systems (DCS, PLC, SCADA, HMI, etc). The end of the article contain a list of materials in the development of ISA99 by the ISA SP-99 Committee.
