DHS, CISA, and US-CERT Address 2,609 ICS Cybersecurity Incidents
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alongside the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency (CISA) and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), collectively
respond to a staggering number of ICS cybersecurity incidents each year. In recent years, DHS, CISA
and US-CERT responded to 2,609 cybersecurity incidents. These figures illustrate the pressing reality that
industrial control systems (ICS), which are the backbone of critical infrastructure, are no exception to the
pervasive threats encountered within conventional IT networks.
