Abstract
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are critical for the operation of industries such as energy, manufacturing, and transportation. However, with the increasing integration of digital technologies and connectivity, these systems face significant cybersecurity risks. This paper explores the common vulnerabilities of ICS and examines the various threats that pose a risk to their integrity. It also discusses effective mitigation strategies, including network segmentation, intrusion detection systems, and employee training, to safeguard against potential cyber-attacks. The study highlights the importance of a multi-layered defense approach and outlines best practices for securing ICS in the modern threat landscape.
