Читать книгу Building an Effective Security Program for Distributed Energy Resources and Systems - Mariana Hentea - Страница 87

The increased use of information systems is generating many benefits, but it has created an ever larger gap between the need to protect systems and the degree of protection. Society, including business, public services, and individuals, has become very dependent on technologies that are not yet sufficiently dependable. Often, information systems are vulnerable to attacks upon or failures of information systems. Certain information systems, both public and private, such as those used in power grid, military or defense installations, nuclear power plants, hospitals, transport systems, and securities exchanges, offer fertile ground for antisocial behavior or terrorism. However, users need to have confidence that information systems will operate as intended without unanticipated failures or problems to personal security and privacy.
