Critical infrastructure under attack: lessons from a honeypot

Israel Barak's article concerns attacks on critical infrastructure — energy, water supply, transport, election systems, government and health — and argues that operators should aim to minimise mean time to response when attacks occur and gain more visibility into their systems, particularly between the IT and OT environments. The author further argues that security needs to be an intrinsic element in all OT systems, right from the initial design.
