I really enjoyed the case studies that provided a history of Industrial Control Systems attacks . Scary stuff when you consider that these are the systems that control most of our critical infrastructure, many of which are still rather easily hackable. This book does a great job explaining the hacks and how to mitigate them with an effective cybersecurity framework. We want to prevent our electric grid, nuclear power plants, petroleum pipelines, even wastewater treatment plants from becoming under control of nefarious hackers, especially those from hostile nations!

Great overview of risk management with regard to network security wrt industrial control. I work for one of the companies mentioned in this book and found this really edifying. My role is only adjacent to those where this is a primary concern. The writing is light and readable, too.
