Abstract :
Stuxnet was reported as the first malware specifically targeting control systems. Many people had believed control systems were not targets of cyber attacks before Stuxnet. This paper discusses this kind of gaps between the perception and reality on cyber security of control systems, and how stakeholders of control systems should address the new threat trends such as Stuxnet to improve the security level of their control systems.
