Canadian companies that operate critical Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) need a
comprehensive incident response plan to deal with cyber security incidents. If a cyber-attack compromises field control devices, it could create safety hazards that put employees and the public at risk.
This IACS Cyber Security Incident Response Playbook provides a plan that integrates various internationally recognized cyber security IT and OT incident response standards with the Incident Command System (ICS), an industry-agency proven, and internationally accepted, emergency management system. This playbook is developed to accompany the advancement of the standards, best practices, and guidelines related to cyber security in the critical infrastructure sectors. The targeted stakeholders are companies operating IACS in the following industries: Water, Energy & Utilities (Electricity, Oil, Gas), Food, and Manufacturing. The IACS Cyber Security Incident Response Playbook would be published and made available to the government, industry, and the general public.
The objectives of this IACS Cyber Security Incident Response Playbook are to ensure that an organization or company can:
- Manage its incident response safely, efficiently, and effectively.
- Promptly coordinate available resources in executing incident response tasks outside of normal operations.
- Return to normal operations in the shortest possible time while minimizing the business impact.
