Cybersecurity Guidelines for U.S. High-Risk Chemical Facilities Are a Decade Old

The US Government Accountability Office has issued a report on the cybersecurity of high-risk chemical facilities. The report found that the guidance for policies and protection procedures hasnt been updated in a decade. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for monitoring all high-security installations. The CFATS program is in charge of setting the policies for around 3,300 facilities, but the guidance issued by the program hasn’t been updated for 10 years. A successful cyberattack against chemical facilities information and process control systems can disrupt or shut down operations and lead to serious consequences.”]
