As cyber threats become increasingly complex, critical infrastructure owners and operators must prioritize cybersecurity resilience. The Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET), developed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), offers a systematic, approach for evaluating an organization’s security posture. This tool guides asset owners and operators through assessing both industrial control system (ICS) and information technology (IT) network security practices by leveraging recognized government and industry standards to identify vulnerabilities and implement effective defenses.
CSET supports critical infrastructure sectors in enhancing cybersecurity practices. It provides an accessible way to perform assessments and follow structured guidelines. With modules tailored to various industries and compliance standards, CSET aligns with frameworks from NIST, ISO, TSA, AWWA and more, helping organizations set foundational controls to protect against cyber threats.
CSET provides direction to critical infrastructure owners to protect their assets and secure their operations. By identifying compliance gaps and prioritizing high-risk areas, CSET empowers organizations to build resilient systems. However, it is crucial to seek expert guidance to correctly address recommendations and safeguard infrastructure effectively.
