"A common pitfall is to attempt to initiate a CSMS program without at least a high-level rationale that relates cyber security to the specific organization and its mission."

A CSMS program is a Cybersecurity Management System program that follows the IEC 62443 standards for securing industrial control systems (ICS)1. A common pitfall when initiating a CSMS program is D. Immediate jump into detailed risk assessment. This is because a detailed risk assessment requires a clear definition of the system under consideration (SuC), the allocation of IACS assets to zones and conduits, and the identification of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences for each zone and conduit2. These steps are part of the assess phase of the CSMS program, which is the first phase of the security program development process2. However, before starting the assess phase, it is important to have the management team’s support to ensure the CSMS program will have sufficient financial and organizational resources to implement necessary actions2. Therefore, jumping into detailed risk assessment without having the management buy-in is a common mistake that can jeopardize the success of the CSMS program.

 According to the ISA/IEC 62443-2-4 standard, a training and security awareness program should include all personnel who have access to the industrial automation and control system (IACS) or who are involved in its operation, maintenance, or management. This includes vendors and suppliers, employees, temporary staff, contractors, and visitors. The purpose of the program is to ensure that all personnel are aware of the security risks and policies related to the IACS, and that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles in a secure manner. The program should also cover the roles and responsibilities of different personnel, the reportingprocedures for security incidents, and the best practices for security hygiene. References:

 MODBUS/TCP is the name of the protocol that implements serial Modbus over Ethernet. MODBUS/TCP is a variant of the Modbus protocol that uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as the transport layer to encapsulate Modbus messages and send them over Ethernet networks. MODBUS/TCP preserves the Modbus application layer and data model, which means that serial Modbus devices can communicate with MODBUS/TCP devices through a gateway or a converter. MODBUS/TCP is widely used in industrial automation and control systems, as it offers high performance, interoperability, and compatibility with existing Modbus devices. References: ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist Study Guide, Section 3.1.21; MODBUS Application Protocol Specification V1.1b3, Section 1.1

The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards is divided into four main parts, each covering a different aspect of industrial automation and control systems (IACS) cybersecurity1:

• Part 1: Terminology, Concepts, and Models
• Part 2: Policies and Procedures
• Part 3: System Requirements
• Part 4: Component Requirements The part 4 of the series focuses on the requirements for the secure development and maintenance of products that are used in IACS, such as controllers, sensors, actuators, network devices, software applications, and cloud services. The part 4 consists of two standards1:
