Industrial Network Security: Securing Critical Infrastructure Networks for Smart Grid, SCADA, and BMS
Author / Issuing Authority: Eric D. Knapp & Joel Thomas Langill (Syngress / Elsevier) • Category: Food, Foraging & Household Self-Reliance
Defending building management systems (BMS), Modbus/BACnet plant networks, water treatment skids & power controllers from cyber-physical disruption.
Why This Manual Matters in a Grid-Down Outage
Modern commercial boilers, chillers, access control, and standby generators are controlled by networked PLCs and BMS panels. This reference explains how to segment and harden operational technology (OT) using the Purdue Model.
Plant-Room & Field Operational Takeaway
Air-gapped OT/IT firewall rules, securing Modbus TCP and BACnet traffic, unidirectional security gateways, and manual override engineering when BMS servers are compromised.
Maintaining a physical dead-tree edition of Industrial Network Security: Securing Critical Infrastructure Networks for Smart Grid, SCADA, and BMS (ISBN-13: 978-0124201149) in your plant room, comms rack, or site incident grab-bag ensures engineers and duty wardens have immediate access to statutory tables, pinouts, and safety protocols when cloud documentation portals and corporate intranets are unreachable.
