How to Secure Critical Infrastructure When Patching Isn’t Possible
Securing such critical infrastructure systems introduces a frustrating paradox: On the one hand, defending safety-critical systems is key because any maliciously motivated malfunction invites potential disaster. Yet our need for these crucial systems to be “always-on” complicates standard cyber-procedures.
