Security Testing Methods and Techniques of Industrial Control Devices

Stuxnet event in 2010 causes the intense attention all over the world about information security problems of industrial control systems, how to assure the security of industrial control systems has become a hot topic both in the industry sectors and in academic community. In this paper, we focus on security testing of industrial control devices. We first review the existing security certifications in this area and analyze the features of these certifications. Then, we review and describe the existing security standards in this area. Furthermore, we review and compare the testing tools used for security testing of industrial control devices. Following this work, we can begin further study in this emerging field.
