10. These scenarios almost always involve the electronic hijacking of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems connected to a data network via a wide area network. The sophistication of SCADA systems and their associated distributed control systems (DCSs) varies widely. But modern SCADA and DCS systems operate metropolitan water distribution networks, major water and
wastewater treatment plants, and wastewater collection systems.
11. Dial-up connections to individual computers and to internal (private) networks for diagnostic and repair pose an entirely separate set of potential vulnerabilities.
12. Most DNS data needed to pass communications are stored locally and updated daily. Very few name resolution requests require root server assistance.

24. Policies for handling information include how documents are created, revised, published, temporarily stored, archived, and destroyed. Policy for information security deals with information assets and how to ensure their confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Policies are high-level statements of broad intent, such as ‘‘Product development data will be protected at all times.’’ Standards are used to interpret policies for individual departments and users and are typically written in plain, straightforward terms. Guidelines tend to be technical
implementation rules.
