Cybersecurity lexicon

Consider this a “handy desk reference for architects, engineers, building managers, students, researchers, and consultants interested in preventing cyber-physical attacks against their facilities.” An ebook is also available.

There are 179 pages of definitions, plus a 17-page listing of “facilities, engineering, and cyber acronyms,” and two pages of “cyber standards” for a total of about 200 pages.

Do you know the four kinds of water chillers used in buildings and how a “chiller hack” may occur? How about a “Night Dragon” attack? What is “JMC” if that appeared in a text?

Knowing the vocabulary goes a long way toward knowledge in any field. This is a great resource to browse even if you don’t need to look up a term. I highly recommend it.
