This book provides a template with step-by-step instructions on how to respond and recover when
hackers get into your SCADA system and cause building equipment to act erratically or fail
completely. When hackers shut off the water turn off the building power disable the sewage
effluent pumps and activate the fire alarm you have to do something quick. It is even more
alarming that hackers can do all those things at the same time-even from the other side of the
planet. Not every equipment failure or power outage is a cyber-physical attack. When your
building is attacked you probably won't suspect it was a hacker-until you see a pattern. The
building control system (BCS) will act squirrelly and you will know-it really is a
cyber-physical attack. Once a cyber-physical attack occurs it can mean years of court cases
job losses higher insurance rates and maybe even criminal litigation. It also takes years to
overcome the loss of safety credibility to your employees and the local community.
