File Integrity Monitoring

As the core security control of integrity management, FIM is the process of monitoring for unauthorized and suspicious changes to files, servers, databases, directories, endpoints, and other components in both the IT and OT environment. Powerful FIM solutions will tell you not only what changed, but who made the change as well as when and where it occurred. FIM is a requirement of multiple regulatory compliance mandates, so ensuring it's in place also aids in audit success.

Security Configuration Management

SCM is the security control responsible for reducing security risks associated with misconfigurations. Misconfigurations provide opportunities for cyberattacks, and SCM solutions that continuously scan for misconfigurations help energy and utility organizations stay hardened against such attacks. The first step of the SCM process is capturing a snapshot of your organization's secure baseline state so you can scan for deviations from that state and remediate them right away.

Vulnerability Management (VM)

Vulnerability Management is the process of finding and fixing system vulnerabilities that could be used in a cyberattack. VM solutions scan for publicly known vulnerabilities present on your network, known as common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) and prioritize those vulnerabilities based on risk severity so you can remediate the worst vulnerabilities first. Attacks from ransomware and malware are often the result of unpatched CVEs that go unpatched.

Cybersecurity for Energy FAQs

Not all cyber threats in ICS are carried out by external cybercriminals; human error and internal threats must also stay on your radar. These are 8 of the most common types of cyber events found in industrial environments:

  1. Destruction of data 
  2. Manipulation of data 
  3. Theft of data 
  4. Denial of service 
  5. Masquerading of identity 
  6. Escalation of privilege 
  7. Human error 
  8. Equipment failure

Industrial organizations can easily experience vendor overload when they deploy a different vendor solution for every necessary security control. To keep your cybersecurity program simple yet highly successful, use one vendor that can cover all of the critical security controls and compliance requirements you need to address while also integrating seamlessly with the array of other tools and services that make up your digital environment. 

Integrity management is essential to industrial cybersecurity. Only by capturing the secure baseline state of the industrial control system and tracking for deviations from that state can industrial operators be certain that their organizations stay continuously hardened against cyberattacks. Integrity management streamlines the identification, investigation, and remediation of unwanted system changes. This process reduces the frequency and severity of cyberattacks and speeds up time to recovery for maximum uptime.

ICS operators have a slightly different set of priorities in the OT space, such as and increased emphasis on physical safety and reliable system uptime. But the core security controls that make up integrity management — FIM, SCM, and VM — should all be in play on both the IT and OT sides of the organization for maximum cybersecurity. Solutions like Tripwire Enterprise span the entire organization to prevent unauthorized changes or misconfigurations from compromising industrial environments. 

The primary compliance objective of energy and utility companies is adhering to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) standards. Other important regulatory bodies and frameworks in this sector are the American Water Works Association, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS. Tripwire Enterprise comes with these and other policies built in for simple and effective multi-policy compliance enforcement.
