360Quadrants, the world’s only comparison platform that combines expert analysis with crowdsourced reviews, has released a quadrant on industrial control systems security solutions to help businesses make quicker and more informed decisions.

Industrial Control Systems Security (ICS security) is defined as the ability of organizations to secure their automation processes and related critical information from cyber intrusions for uninterrupted and sustained productivity of utilities, grids, transportation systems, and manufacturing plants. Industrial control systems cover various types of control systems such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed Control System (DCS), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) to remotely manage critical industrial infrastructure from a central control room. Securing systems from advanced persistent threats is prompting various security solution providers to customize their offerings according to industry demand.
