National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence is seeking comment by Dec. 7 on its draft cyber guide related to manufacturing industrial control systems.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is seeking industry input by Dec. 7 on its draft cyber guide related to manufacturing industrial control systems, according to an article from FedScoop. The project, Capabilities Assessment for Securing Manufacturing Industrial Control Systems, will reportedly produce design blueprints to help manufacturers and chemical plants use special computerized production processes that are secure from online attacks.
