NCCoE Releases Final
Project Description: Responding
to and Recovering from a Cyber Attack: Cybersecurity for the Manufacturing
Sector
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has
released the final project description, Responding
to and Recovering from a Cyber Attack: Cybersecurity for the Manufacturing
Sector. The publication of this project description continues the
process to further identify project requirements and scope, along with hardware
and software components for use in a laboratory environment.
What is this project about?
Industrial control systems (ICS) and devices that run
manufacturing environments play a critical role in the supply chain.
Manufacturing organizations rely on ICS to monitor and control physical
processes that produce goods for public consumption. These same systems are
facing an increasing number of cyber attacks, presenting a threat to safety,
production, and economic impact to a manufacturing organization. The goal of this
NCCoE project is to demonstrate a means to recover equipment from cyber attacks
and restore operations.
Next Steps
In the coming weeks, the NCCoE Manufacturing team will be
publishing a Federal Register Notice (FRN) based on the final project
description. If you have interest in participating in this project with us as a
collaborator, you will have the opportunity to complete a Letter of Interest
(LOI) where you can present your capabilities. Completed LOIs are considered on a first-come,
first-served basis within each category of components or
characteristics listed in the FRN, up to the number of participants in each
category necessary to carry out the project build.
