A significant addition to the draft is a new appendix offering tailored guidance on how to adapt and apply security controls and control enhancements detailed in the 2013 comprehensive update of Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations(link is external) (NIST SP 800-53, revision 4) to ICS. SP 800-53 contains a catalog of security controls that can be tailored for specific needs according to an organization's mission, operational environment, and the technologies used.

The new draft of the ICS security guide includes an overlay that adapts and refines that baseline to address the specialized security needs of utilities, chemical companies, food manufacturers, automakers and other users of ICS.

NIST SP 800-82, Guide to Industrial Control System (ICS) Security, Revision 2 Final Public Draft can be downloaded from the NIST Computer Security Resource Center at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsDrafts.html#SP-800-82-Rev.2(link is external).

Samsung KNOX aims to be the most comprehensively secure and manageable mobile device solution for enterprises large and small. Based on the Android OS, Samsung KNOX is designed around the philosophy that the foundations of device security should be rooted in fixed hardware mechanisms. KNOX bases this foundation on the principles of trusted computing, a set of methods for making devices that can prove to enterprises they are running the correct security software and can raise alerts in the event that tampering is detected.

Enterprises such as financial institutions, government agencies, and healthcare can benefit by using Android for Work on a Samsung device. The platform security of Samsung KNOX integrates with Android for Work providing the hallmark of KNOX security—root of trust.
