Cloud Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - Industrial Control Systems Security Glossary
Cloud Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - Industrial Control Systems Security Glossary

Cloud Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - Industrial Control Systems Security Glossary

Release Date: 05/05/2020

The Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Glossary is a reference document that brings together ICS and IT/OT related terms and definitions. Bringing together the terms and definitions in this document is meant to minimize misinterpretation and provide a common ICS and IT/OT language. A balance has been struck between length of the definitions and understandability with reliance on the reference source as the final arbiter. The goal is to provide a common language to communicate, understand, debate, conclude, and present the results of the ICS WG’s work. The intended audience is everyone from the Board to security staff inside an organization to customers and third-party suppliers including cloud service providers.
