Abstract
For patch management of an industrial control system, predicted temporal evolution of risk due to vulnerability is provided to industrial control system operators to help schedule patching. A Markov chain representing the temporal evolution uses asset (e.g., industrial control system component) specific information to determine risk over time. This risk information may be used to prioritize and/or schedule patching. The operator is provided more information to help manage patching of the industrial control system, allowing better balancing of risk with manufacturing burden.
