SANS ICS 5 Critical Controls: Essential Framework for Critical Infrastructure Protection

Summary: The SANS Institute and Dragos published the SANS ICS 5 Critical Controls, a framework led by SANS authors Tim Conway and Robert M. Lee, built from an analysis of all known ICS cyber attacks. The five controls are designed for prevention, detection, and response in industrial environments and are meant to be tailored to each organization's risk profile.

What's compelling: The framework's stated basis is a review of every known ICS cyber attack, so the controls reflect what has already been used against industrial environments rather than hypothetical risk.
