This disclosure provides an infrastructure monitoring tool, and related systems and methods, for collecting industrial process control and automation system risk data, and other data. A method includes discovering multiple devices in a computing system by a risk manager system. The method includes grouping the multiple devices into multiple security zones by the risk manager system. The method includes, for each security zone, causing one or more devices in that security zone to provide information to the risk manager system identifying alerts and events associated with the one or more devices. The method includes storing the information, by the risk manager system, in association with unique identifier values, the unique identifier values identifying different types of information.

Infrastructure monitoring tool for collecting industrial process control and automation system risk data

A method of analyzing cyber-security risks in an industrial control system (ICS) including a plurality of networked devices includes providing a processor and a memory storing a cyber-security algorithm. The processor runs the cyber-security algorithm and implements data collecting to compile security data including at least vulnerability data including cyber-risks (risks) regarding the plurality of networked devices by scanning the plurality of devices, processing the security data using a rules engine which associates a numerical score to each of the risks, aggregating data including ranking the risks across the plurality of networked devices and arranging the risks into at least one logical grouping, and displaying the logical grouping(s) on a user station.
