SCADA Watch: Nuclear Plant Cyber Security Has A Ways To Go

Joe Weiss writes on the GlobalControl.com "Unfettered" Blog:

The prevailing wisdom is that nuclear plants are isolated and not connected or interconnected. At least for some nuclear plants, that is simply not true! I personally know of many nuclear plants with remote connectivity to and from their nuclear plant networks.

One interesting case was mentioned at the Applied Control Solutions Conference in Knoxville last August by a representative from a nuclear utility. He mentioned they installed firewalls between their nuclear plant networks and Corporate network because their nuclear plant networks were infecting the Corporate network with malware, not the other way around.
