The Chemical Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy, employing nearly 1 million people, and earning revenues of more than $637 billion per year. This sector can be divided into five main segments, based on the end product produced:
basic chemicals; specialty chemicals; agricultural chemicals; pharmaceuticals; and
consumer products.
A direct attack on or disruption of certain elements of the chemical industry could disrupt essential functions at the national level and across multiple other critical infrastructure and key resources sectors, according the US Government.
Corporate officers have a responsibility to stockholders, employees, customers, and the public to ensure continuity of business and manufacturing operations. Today's assurance of manufacturing operations depend heavily on the integrity and availability of all enterprise and production facilities and systems. Behind these critical functions is the information technology backbone - with complex information and industrial control, or SCADA, systems.
Today's corporate board needs the assurance that current assessment and evaluation of all cyber systems supports current defensive measures for continuity of operations. An unexpected interruption in service in any business or floor function can impact on revenue and public trust in the market. Mitigation of cyber vulnerabilities is an on-going challenge as external and internal threats continue to grow in the 21st Century.
