IACS System Testing and Assessment Rating (STAR) Methodology with Don Weber

Oct 25, 2023

Don Weber joins Dale Peterson to describe his IACS STAR Methodology to score the risk of a vulnerability to an ICS (or IACS in 62443-speak). It is a modification of the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology. Don has modified some of the 16-factors to create IACS STAR. The methodology and code is available on GitHub and a calculator is available on line.

Don and Dale discuss:

• What Don likes about the OWASP Risk Rating
• Potential issues with putting numbers to SME judgment
• Differences between IACS STAR and the OWASP Risk Rating
• The weighting of the 16 factors
• The future of IACS STAR
