Today the DHS ICS-CERT announced
that they would be holding a webinar on September 20th introducing
version 8.0 of their Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET®). You can register
for the free webinar on-line. Copies of CSET v8.0 will be available for free download
on September 13th.
ICS-CERT describes CSET as “stand-alone desktop software
that guides users through a step-by-step process to assess their control system
and IT network security practices against recognized standards”.
Long-time readers of this blog will note that I have
routinely commented on the poor way that ICS-CERT normally deals with upgrades
of CSET. The upgrade to v7.1 earlier
this year was the first upgrade that was actually announced in a timely
manner on the ICS-CERT
web site instead of waiting for the publication of the next ICS-CERT
Monitor. To the best of my knowledge this will be the first time that ICS-CERT
has conducted a public webinar on CSET. And it is certainly the first time that
they have announced an upgrade in advance of publication.
If you have any sort of responsibility for the security of
an industrial control system, it would probably be a good idea to sign up for
this webinar. I certainly have.
