New Baseline for Industrial Control System Cybersecurity
As the core foundation of industrial production operations, industrial control systems are crucial for economic development, social stability, and national security. To enhance the cybersecurity protection level of industrial control systems, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the MIIT [2011] No. 451 “Notice on Strengthening Information Security Management of Industrial Control Systems” and the MIIT Soft Letter [2016] No. 338 “Guidelines for Information Security Protection of Industrial Control Systems” to guide industrial enterprises in building cybersecurity.
