After Strike wrote the first edition and started up the old web site, a lot of new theories came in. The most promising was a proposition from our founding father of cyber chemistry Eleusis. This was his proposal ... 

Results. Values computed on the John von Neumann Center s Control Data Corporation Cyber 205 are displayed and compared to literature results for other model-chains in Figure 3. Squares indicate values obtained in our Monte Carlo simulations, while diamonds are results of Priest s (12) analytical approximation for very narrow pores.

Mathematical models require computation to secure concrete predictions. Successes in relatively simple cases spurs interest in more complex situations. Somewhat specialized computer hardware and software have emerged in response to these demands. Examples are the high-end processors with vector architecture, such as the Cray series, the CDC Cyber 205, and the recently announced IBM 3090 with vector attachment. When a computation can effectively utilize vector architecture, such machines will out-perform even the most powerful conventional scalar machine by a substantial margin. Such performance has given rise to the term supercomputer. ...

Cyber security Protection of critical information systems including hardware, software, infrastructure, and data from loss, corruption, theft, or damage. 

Security layers of protection Also known as concentric rings of protection, a concept of providing multiple independent and overlapping layers of protection in depth. For security purposes, this may include various layers of protection such as countersurveillance, counterintelligence, physical security, and cyber security. 

Effective chemical process security must also consider integration of broader process elements including technology, chemical usage and quantities, procedures, administrative controls, training, and cyber interface with those traditional physical security elements.

The American Chemistry Council s Responsible Care Security Code is designed to encourage continuous improvement in security performance by using a risk-based approach to identify, assess, and address vulnerabilities prevent or mitigate incidents enhance training and response capabilities and maintain and improve relationships with key stakeholders. As a condition of membership in the council, each member company must implement the Security Code for facilities, transportation and value chain, and cyber security.

Specialists study this case of cyber-terrorism because it is the only one known in which someone used a digital control system deliberately to cause harm. The former employee s intrusion shows how easy it is to break in—and how restrained he was with his power. 

Criminal groups There is an increased use of cyber intrusions by criminal groups, who attack systems for purposes of monetary gain. 

Foreign intelligence services Foreign intelligence services use cyber tools as part of their information gathering and espionage activities. 

Not all relatively new and universally recognizable cyber terms have sinister connotations or meanings, of course. Consider, for example, the following digital terms backup, binary, bit, byte, CD-ROM, CPU, database, e-mail, HTML, icon, memory, cyberspace, modem, monitor, network, RAM, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), record, software, World Wide Web—none of these terms normally generates thoughts of terrorism in most of us. 

In July 2002, the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) reported that the potential for compound cyber and physical attacks, referred to as swarming attacks, is an emerging threat to the U.S. critical infrastructure. As NIPC reports, the effects of a swarming attack include slowing or complicating the response to a physical attack. 

For instance, a cyber attack that disabled the water supply or the electrical system in conjunction with a physical attack could deny emergency services the necessary resources to manage the consequences—such as controlling fires, coordinating actions, and generating light. 

Control systems, such as SCADA, can be vulnerable to cyber attacks. Entities or individuals with malicious intent might take one or more of the following actions to successfully attack control systems ... 

In addition, in control systems that cover a wide geographic area, the remote sites are often unstaffed and may not be physically monitored. If such remote systems are physically breached, the attackers could establish a cyber connection to the control network. 

To be able to effectively respond to cyber attacks, establish an intrusion detection strategy that includes alerting network administrators of malicious network activity originating from internal or external sources. Intrusion detection system monitoring is essential twenty-four hours a day this capability can be easily set up through a pager. Additionally, incident response procedures must be in place to allow an...
