WHITE HOUSE LAUNCHES CHEMICAL SECTOR SECURITY SPRINT
PHIL MUNCASTER UK / EMEA NEWS REPORTER, INFOSECURITY MAGAZINE
* Email Phil
* Follow @philmuncaster
The Biden–Harris administration has launched a new initiative designed to
improve the security of industrial systems in the chemical sector over the next
100 days, as part of ongoing efforts to reduce cyber-risk in critical
infrastructure (CNI).
The sector is the fourth to be covered by the Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
Cybersecurity Initiative, following similar initiatives in the electricity,
pipeline, water and railway industries.
Incorporating lessons learned from those previous efforts, the 100 day security
“sprint” will focus on:
* Information sharing and coordination between federal government and the
private sector
* Prioritizing “high-risk chemical facilities” which “present significant
chemical release hazards”
* Driving collaboration between sector owners and operators to ensure the right
technologies are deployed based on individual risk assessments
The White House emphasized the criticality to national and economic security of
protecting the sector, noting that it produces chemicals “that are used directly
or as building blocks in the everyday lives of Americans,” including fertilizers
and disinfectants, personal care products and even energy sources.
While the focus initially will be on those high-risk facilities, the goal is to
disseminate best practices for enhanced ICS cybersecurity across the entire
chemical sector.
Chris Gray, AVP of cybersecurity for Deepwatch, works directly with chemical
sector organizations. He explained that these businesses “heavily influence and
enable” related sectors such as agriculture, water, nuclear, defense and
transportation.
“If the production and delivery of chemicals is stopped or impeded, massive
effects will be felt by manufacturing, healthcare, fuel, and many other areas,”
he added.
“Another concern is system and platform vulnerability. The last major security
framework requirements that have governance over this area pre-date 2010. This
sector is likely underserved, with highly remote and unattended legacy
technologies, and outdated security standards and expectations.”
