BLUF: With a limited budget prioritizing these three key factors will highly reduce cyber
threats. Risk Assessment First, Prioritize Training, and Implement Secure Technology.
In a limited budget you want to do the best you can to keep the cybersecurity department
up and running. Not only just running, but efficient and protective. As a Chief
Information Security Officer this is how I will approach having a budgeted department.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Risk Assessment First
\u25cf I would start with this first to identify high value assets and the threats that
are most likely to happen, making sure that we are spending our money on
the most vulnerable systems.
2. Prioritize Training
\u25cf Human error is a big reason as to why cyber attacks happen. Due to this
reasoning I will put as much money as I can into training employees to
make it less likely that they perform an error.
3. Implement Secure Technology
\u25cf I would implement Firewalls, MFA, Email filtering, amd basic monitoring
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, having a balanced approach with this budget will provide a strong and safe
cyber department. This will better the chances of a cyber threat being contained or not
happening at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLUF: \u201cSupervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) refers to Industrial Control
Systems used to control infrastructure processes, facility-based, processes, or industrial
processes\u201d http:\/\/www.scadasystems.net
1. Cybersecurity Threats
\u25cf Unauthorized Access
Hackers may attempt to get into unauthorized access to control systems,
potentially corrupt systems, steal data, or cause harm.
2. Infrastructure getting old
\u25cf Many critical infrastructure systems are outdated and may be not fully
updated to handle present technology cyber threats. This can lead to the
systems failing and increased risk to cyber threats
3. Physical Attacks
\u25cf Critical infrastructure systems are also open to physical threats like
sabotage, terrorism, or natural disasters. These can damage the
infrastructure directly .
Conclusion: SCADA systems are important for a lot of very important things, but they are
very vulnerable to all types of attacks ranging from cyber attacks to physical attacks.
These can be maintained by upgrading and protecting systems.
