Air Gapped
•
Perceived as secure but this can lead to a false
sense of security
•
Older SIS equipment did not typically address
cybersecurity
•
Makes other aspects of operation more difficult
•
e.g. patching, backups, virus updates
•
may in turn introduce security risk
•
Temptation to circumvent the “Air Gap” with
portable media, temporary connections etc.
•
Limited visibility of SIS functions for the operator
