The SANS ICS Five Critical Controls: A Practical Framework for OT Cybersecurity

The development of the SANS ICS Five Critical Controls represents a significant stride toward enhancing cybersecurity in operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS). Led by renowned SANS authors and instructors Tim Conway and Robert M. Lee, Dragos co-founder, the SANS ICS Five Critical Controls framework was born out of a comprehensive analysis of all known ICS cyber-attacks.  

The framework is a concise, impactful set of measures specifically designed for the prevention, detection, and response to cyber incidents in industrial environments. These controls are not only the cornerstone of an effective OT cybersecurity program but are also flexible enough to be tailored to each organization’s unique needs and risk profiles. 

This easy-to-follow infographic will introduce each control and provide an overview of how the Dragos Platform can help you drive progress across the set of controls.
