Bottom line: NIST provides practical steps to address OT cybersecurity threats and risks for resource-constrained BACS operators.
What's happening: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a quick-start infographic on November 10, 2022, with guidance for BACS operators in the United States. The guide is designed for small and medium-sized businesses and organizations with limited resources.
What to do: Security leaders should review the NIST quick-start guide, assess their BACS systems, and implement the recommended cybersecurity measures to mitigate potential threats and risks.

Here is the rewritten article: NIST Quick-Start Guide for BACS Operators The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a quick-start guide to provide immediate, actionable cybersecurity steps for owners of Basic Automation Control Systems (BACS) operators who lack resources to implement robust cybersecurity measures. The guide is based on the results of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), which was developed in collaboration with industry experts and stakeholders. The guide provides guidance on risk management and mitigation strategies for BACS operators, including identifying vulnerabilities and implementing controls to reduce the risk of cyber-physical attacks. The guide is designed for small and medium-sized businesses and organizations with limited resources. Security leaders should review the NIST quick-start guide, assess their BACS systems, and implement the recommended cybersecurity measures to mitigate potential threats and risks. The guide is available on the NIST website and can be accessed by visiting NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
