become more difficult, Beyah believes attackers may turn to easier targets in the industrial control systems. “It’s quite likely that nation-state operators are already famil- iar with this and have attacks that they could use for political purposes, but ordinary attackers have had no interest in these systems,” he said. “What we hope to do is bring attention to this issue. If we can successfully attack these control systems, others with a bad intention can also do it.” Besides improving password security and limiting con- nections, Beyah said that operators of these devices need to install intrusion monitoring systems to alert them if attackers are in the process control networks. Beyah and Formby have launched a company to make their strategies for protecting systems broadly available to control system operators.
DuPont Awards Early Career Grants D
uPont (Wilmington, DE) has named eight young faculty members to its 2016 Class of DuPont Young Profes-
sors. Recognizing promising research talent, the company will provide this group of international faculty with more than $350,000 during the next two years to support their research that advances basic science knowledge to address global challenges in food, energy and protection. The 2016 Class of DuPont Young Professors are engaged
in promising research in key areas of interest to DuPont, including work in the fields of plant biology, biotechnology, ma- terials science, photovoltaics and chemical engineering. These interests are highly aligned with DuPont’s strategic priorities of science-based innovation in the areas of agriculture and nutri- tion, bio-based industrials and advanced materials. “Research and development is becoming more networked
than ever. The DuPont Young Professor program is an excel- lent way to strengthen both academic research and industry collaboration by supporting promising young faculty,” said Douglas Muzyka, DuPont senior vice president and chief science and technology officer. “Interactions with these researchers will further stimulate the creativity of DuPont
