joint planning and a holistic organizational response for OT cyber security improvement .
At the national level , given the massive movement underway towards AI , IoT , and the industrial internet , there is a need to accelerate implementation of university programs as well as mid-career training opportunities : to acclimate engineers to IT issues and to train IT practitioners to control system realities including unique issues such as latency , jitter , and other control system-unique issues that can have detrimental impacts on the process .
Figure 4 . Control System Security Practitioners
For example , in university Computer Science and Engineering programs , consideration should be given to an area elective in Control System Cybersecurity . In addition , Control System Cyber Security could be offered as a course elective within Communications and Networks , Information , Software and Systems and Security , and other concentrations .
It is necessary to develop control system cyber security training for practicing engineers . The goal would be to expand the skills base in control system operations and engineering with a basic understanding of control system cyber security defenses and realistic mitigation efforts . This training would include addressing control system Level 0 , 1 field devices as well as addressing actual control system cyber incidents .
In addition , models involving force multipliers for engineers in control system settings might be explored . In response to an acute need for healthcare in
