On May 21st , 2008, the Dutch National Infrastructure against Cyber Crime (NICC) organised their first Process Control Security Event. Mrs. Annemarie Zielstra, the NICC programme manager, opened the event. She welcomed the over 100 representatives of key industry sectors. “Earlier studies in the Netherlands and abroad show that many organisations do not manage the information security aspects of their process control systems (PCS). As risk is increasing, there is an urgent need for public-private collaboration by government, process control system users, and manufacturers against potential cyber crime in the PCS domain. Since these systems monitor and control processes that are critical to society, there may be a major safety and economical impact when they fail.” Such processes comprise for instance the supply of power, gas, and drinking water; managing surface water; traffic control, refineries and other chemical industrial processing, automated food processing systems, automated milkers, and security systems. She continued: “The NICC started discussing and working on the process control security theme with various critical infrastructure sectors. After analysis of information security weaknesses in the PCS of the Dutch drinking water sector, a publication with 39 good practices for PCS security in the drinking water sector was developed. Currently, studies are in progress on the information security posture of PCS in the Rotterdam harbour and the energy sector.”
