Overview of this book

With Industrial Control Systems (ICS) expanding into traditional IT space and even into the cloud, the attack surface of ICS environments has increased significantly, making it crucial to recognize your ICS vulnerabilities and implement advanced techniques for monitoring and defending against rapidly evolving cyber threats to critical infrastructure. This second edition covers the updated Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ) architecture and shows you how to implement, verify, and monitor a holistic security program for your ICS environment. You'll begin by learning how to design security-oriented architecture that allows you to implement the tools, techniques, and activities covered in this book effectively and easily. You'll get to grips with the monitoring, tracking, and trending (visualizing) and procedures of ICS cybersecurity risks as well as understand the overall security program and posture/hygiene of the ICS environment. The book then introduces you to threat hunting principles, tools, and techniques to help you identify malicious activity successfully. Finally, you'll work with incident response and incident recovery tools and techniques in an ICS environment. By the end of this book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of industrial cybersecurity monitoring, assessments, incident response activities, as well as threat hunting.

Using discovered indicators of compromise to search the environment for additional suspect systems

Now that we have narrowed down our list of suspicious artifacts to a single verified malicious executable, backdoor.exe, as was found on Workstation12, let's see whether we have this executable running or present on other systems.

If we were to just search for the backdoor.exe filename on all the hard drives in the environment, we would miss copies of the malware that have a different name. What we want to do is look for something that makes the executable stand out from the crowd, such as a specific string or sequence of bytes that is unique to that executable, and ideally is difficult to change. This is how, fundamentally, antivirus scanners work. They have a large database of unique strings/byte sequences, called patterns. If a specific pattern is found within a file, this would be an indicator that the file is the malware that the pattern was extracted from.
