[CII] welcome to the public CII

[Joe St Sauver]

Mark mentioned:

#I would also be very interested in learning more about the 
#actual SCADA networks that are in place, how connectivity 
#policies are enforced on them, what controls are in place 
#to restrict connectivity between networks and the Internet 
#or other networks, and how these policies and controls are 
#audited against over the next few years.  

If you're interested, feel free to see my December 2004 talk:

"SCADA Security and Critical Infrastructure,"
http://www.uoregon.edu/~joe/scadaig/infraguard-scada.pdf (or 
.ppt)

Unfortunately, what I said five years ago continues to be 
all too applicable even today. :-( 

If you have a particular ongoing interest in SCADA/process 
control security, you may also want to check out Bob 
Radvanovsky's SCADA Security mailing list (see 
http://scadasec.infracritical.com/ )

Depending on the failure/attack modes you're interested in,
I've got some other talks you may also want to see:

"Electromagnetic Pulse,"
http://www.uoregon.edu/~joe/infragard-2009/infragard-eugene-2009.pdf
(or .ppt) and 

"Cyber War, Cyber Terrorism and Cyber Espionage,"
http://www.uoregon.edu/~joe/cyberwar/cyberwar.pdf (or .ppt)

Despite the unquestionably serious nature of these topics, I 
hope that everyone's having a nice Thanksgiving (including 
those of you outside the United States).  I think we *all* 
have much to be thankful for, for one thing, and I heartily 
encourage everyone to "adopt" any/all holidays that provide 
an excuse for getting together for food, drink and good 
times with families and friends, whether those holidays 
happen to be foreign or domestic. (I *will* say that you're 
"excused" from the traditional "obligation" to watch American 
football, however, unless you want to, much as I sometimes 
watch cricket or that "other football" :-) just for a change 
of pace.

Go Ducks! (#8 in the BCS national rankings, 9 and 2 overall) :-)
