The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cyber Security Division developed CSET for asset owners with the primary objective of reducing the risk to the nation’s critical infrastructure. Control systems are defined as electronic devices that control physical processes and as such, are a crucial element in the protection of our nation’s infrastructure.
The Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET) provides:
- a framework for analyzing industrial control system (ICS) security vulnerabilities associated with an organization’s overall control system architecture;
- a consistent and technically sound methodology to identify, analyze, and communicate to security professionals the various vulnerabilities and consequences that may be exploited by cyber means;
- the means for the user to document a process for identifying control system cybersecurity vulnerabilities; and
- suggested methods to evaluate options for improvement based on existing standards and recommended practices.
