Protecting Critical Digital Assets

Hi Everyone & Welcome to my new blog site.


This blogging site is to help me become aware of protecting critical digital assets (CDAs). 

I am employed at a nuclear plant which generates electricity.  Many of the controls for the reactor plant and secondary side (electric generator plant) are digital control systems (DCS).  For cyber security reasons we designate some of these as CDAs.  These are controls which are computers (programable logic computers) or other platforms which need to be isolated from unauthorized use.

My intent here is to have you provide me with some perspectives external to my organization.

Hopefully, I can provide you with some insights too.
