The term industrial control system (ICS) is used to describe different types of control systems and associated instrumentation, which include the devices, systems, networks, and controls used to operate and/or automate industrial processes. Depending on the industry, each ICS functions differently and are built to electronically manage tasks efficiently. Today, the devices and protocols used in an ICS are used in nearly every industrial sector and critical infrastructure, such as the manufacturing, transportation, energy, and water treatment industries. https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/definition/industrial-control-system
