Abstract
The digital transformation of industrial control systems (ICS) has unlocked new efficiencies and insights, but it has also introduced vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. This article delves into the unique cybersecurity challenges posed by ICS environments, including their legacy infrastructure, complex network configurations, and operational priorities. It analyzes common attack vectors, potential consequences, and strategies for mitigating risks. By highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, we can enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure and protect against threats in this increasingly interconnected landscape.
