Who is accountable for the different phases of the IACS Automation Solution Security Lifecycle?

  1. The asset owner is accountable for the specification, design, implementation, verification and validation,
    operation, maintenance, and decommissioning phases.
  2. The ISA99 Committee is accountable for the specification, design, implementation, verification and validation, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning phases.
  3. The asset owner is accountable for the specification and design phases, and the product supplier,
    integration service provider and maintenance service provider are accountable for the remaining phases.
  4. During the initiation of the CSMS program the accountable party for the specification, design,
    -implementation, verification and validation, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning phases will be defined.
    -

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the ISA/IEC 62443 series, the asset owner holds overall accountability for all phases of the IACS Automation Solution Security Lifecycle, even though they may delegate implementation tasks to suppliers or service providers.



What is the purpose of NIST-800-50?

  1. It defines the most current cryptographic algorithms.
  2. It defines the steps needed to align ISA/IEC-62443 with ISO-27001.
  3. It describes how to build an IT Security Awareness and Training Program.
  4. It describes how to build an IACS-specific Security Awareness and Training Program.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

NIST Special Publication 800-50 provides guidance on establishing and maintaining an effective IT security awareness and training program to reduce cybersecurity risks.



In what step of the development process of the CSMS is “Establish purpose, organizational support, resources, and scope” taken care of?

  1. Initiate the CSMS program.
  2. Conduct an initial/high-level risk assessment.
  3. Create reference architecture.
  4. Establish policy, organization, and awareness.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The step “Establish purpose, organizational support, resources, and scope” is part of the initial phase when initiating the Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) program, setting the foundation for all subsequent activities.



What is TRUE regarding safety systems?

  1. No dedicated malware has been found targeting safety systems specifically.
  2. Even the most modern and sophisticated safety systems can be defeated by an attacker.
  3. Safety systems are an independent protection layer and as such have no cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
  4. By integrating control and safety systems via Modbus TCP, cybersecurity risks are at a tolerable level.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Despite their critical role and isolation, safety systems can still be compromised, as shown by real-world incidents like Triton/Trisis, which specifically targeted safety instrumented systems (SIS).



How can defense in depth be achieved via security zones?

  1. By having zones within zones, or subzones, that provide layered security
  2. By having a zone edge that is using the security policies of the asset owner
  3. By having zones that are connected via conduits using the latest version of SSL
  4. By having zones that separate sensors from actuators, that provide layered security

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Defense in depth can be implemented by segmenting systems into security zones and subzones, where each layer adds controls and isolation, reducing the risk of lateral movement by attackers.
