In a recent article for Utility Week, Del Rodillas describes a common challenge in securing\u00a0industrial control systems (ICS) -- that they're highly susceptible to cyberattacks because their software patching and anti-malware update cycles are too infrequent, if they're happening at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
