Embedded Cyber-Security

Critical infrastructure of all municipalities are extremely vital to society as they provide crucial services such as banking, energy, finance, telecommunications, transportation, water systems and emergency services, both governmental and private.  If there was a disruption in any of these services, it would make life very complicated, and even affect the society's national security.  Cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure have become increasingly more complex and more disruptive, causing systems to shut-down, disrupting operations, or simply enabling attackers to remotely control affected systems.  Securing these systems is not a matter of fully reverting back to physical access, but a matter of understanding how internet-connected control systems work, how they are configured, and how they are accessed.
