SCADA historian servers and lobby information kiosks are inventoried under one generic 'IT equipment' class with identical controls. What correction is needed?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A historian that keeps the plant honest isn't a lobby kiosk with bus schedules. Asset classification grades criticality and sensitivity so the heavy hitters get heavier armor. One generic 'IT stuff' bucket flattens risk that isn't flat.
Full Explanation
Asset classification extends beyond data labels to systems and devices based on criticality and sensitivity. SCADA historians typically warrant stricter controls, monitoring, and change management than public kiosks. Uniform classification obscures risk differentials and leads to under- or over-protection.
