11. Management of Cybersecurity Risks
The risks associated with any attack depend on three factors: threats (who is attacking), vulnerabilities (the weaknesses
they are attacking), and impacts (what the attack does). The management of risk to information systems is considered
fundamental to effective cybersecurity.
What Are the Threats?
1. People who actually or potentially perform cyber attacks are widely cited as falling into one or more of five
categories: criminals intent on monetary gain from crimes such as theft or extortion;
2. spies intent on stealing classified or proprietary information used by government or private entities;
3. nation-state warriors who develop capabilities and undertake cyber attacks in support of a country’s strategic
objectives;
4. “hacktivists” who perform cyber attacks for nonmonetary reasons;
5. and terrorists who engage in cyber attacks as a form of non-state or state-sponsored warfare.
12. What Are the Vulnerabilities?
Cybersecurity is in many ways an arms race between attackers and defenders. ICT systems are very complex, and
attackers are constantly probing for weaknesses, which can occur at many points. Defenders can often protect against
weaknesses, but three are particularly challenging:
1. Inadvertent or intentional acts by insiders with access to a system;
2. supply chain vulnerabilities, which can permit the insertion of malicious software or hardware during the
acquisition process;
3. And previously unknown, or zero-day, vulnerabilities with no established fix. Even for vulnerabilities where
remedies are known, they may not be implemented in many cases because of budgetary or operational constraints.
13. What Are the Impacts?
A successful attack can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of a system and the information it
handles.
• Cyber theft or cyber espionage can result in exfiltration of financial, proprietary, or personal information from which
the attacker can benefit, often without the knowledge of the victim.
• Denial-of-service attacks can slow or prevent legitimate users from accessing a system.
• Botnet malware can give an attacker command of a system for use in cyber attacks on other systems.
• Attacks on industrial control systems can result in the destruction or disruption of the equipment they control, such
as generators, pumps, and centrifuges.
