Th...Thank you PJ, those are words of high praise. <br /><br />The Stuxnet worm is big news in the control systems security world. We have had customers tell us that, while they can build a business case for protecting control systems against "run of the mill" threats, they have not been able to build a case for more costly protections against sophisticated or targeted threats. There simply have not been enough examples or incidents to justify the investments. Stuxnet is changing that equation.<br /><br />This past year I've had opportunity to attend a number of industry gatherings and conferences on cyber security for industrial control systems. As a rule, it's not possible to sit through one of those gatherings without hearing the Australias "Maroochy" incident mentioned a number of times. I believe that Stuxnet has already eclipsed Maroochy. I predict that for the next half decade at least, every attendee at any ICS conference will hear "Stuxnet" at least two or three times as often as "Maroochy", and far more often than even that in the next 12 months.<br /><br />If your readers would like to read our Stuxnet paper, just follow this link. <br /><br />http://www.industrialdefender.com/reg/downloads_register.php<br /><br />We do ask for your contact info but we send out mailings only infrequently and you can always unsubscribe.Andrew Ginterhttp://www.findingsfromthefield.comnoreply@blogger.com
