An anonymous reader writes “Ralph Langner, the security expert who deciphered how Stuxnet targeted the Siemens PLCs in Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, has come up with a cybersecurity framework for industrial control systems (ICS) that he says is a better fit than the U.S. government’s Cyber Security Framework. Langner’s Robust ICS Planning and Evaluation, or RIPE, framework takes a different approach to locking down ICS/SCADA plants than the NIST-led one, focusing on security capabilities rather than risk. He hopes it will help influence the final version of the U.S. government’s framework.”… An anonymous reader writes “Ralph Langner, the security expert who deciphered how Stuxnet targeted the Siemens PLCs in Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, has come up with a cybersecurity framework for industrial control systems (ICS) that he says is a better fit than the U.S. government’s Cyber Security Framework.
