Ics Networks

In early 2020 the us department of defense released the cybersecurity maturity model classification cmmc.
Ics networks. Industrial control systems are used in machinery throughout a wide range of industries all around the world. For it security is high priority preserved by the confidentiality integrity and availability cia triad. Internet connection sharing ics is a windows service that enables one internet connected computer to share its internet connection with other computers on a local area network lan. An industrial control system is one of the different types of control systems that are used for monitoring industrial processes.
Contractors in the dod supply chain must be evaluated against this maturity model by a third party audit. Definition of an industrial control system.

Ics typically uses nat technologies to achieve this and works with most connection technologies including dsl cable isdn dial up and satellite.
Internet connection sharing ics is a method for connecting multiple computers in a lan to the internet through a single connection and a single ip address. Ics security is the area of concern involving the safeguarding of industrial control systems the integrated hardware and software designed to monitor and control the operation of machinery and associated devices in industrial environments. In many ways this emphasis represents the main difference between it and ot ics systems. It can be composed of just a few controllers or a complex network of interactive control systems made up by hundreds or thousands of connections.
We re committed to empowering young people to contribute to the un s sustainable development goals and continue their journey as active citizens after their ics placement. The computer that shares its internet connection serves a gateway device meaning that all traffic between other computers and the internet go through this computer ics provides dynamic host configuration.
