This checklist document outlines key requirements for establishing an effective Cyber Physical System (CPS) security ecosystem. It emphasizes the importance of vendor products that can interoperate seamlessly, allowing asset owners to concentrate on their core business activities rather than on integration maintenance. The document details seven essential capabilities for a complete CPS security ecosystem, including comprehensive XIoT asset discovery, integration with digital transformation platforms, and bidirectional endpoint protection. It also highlights the necessity of next-generation firewall integration, network access control integration, and system information and event management integration to enhance security monitoring and threat detection. The checklist aims to guide asset owners in selecting the right ecosystem that can effectively manage risks and improve return on investment across their IT and XIoT environments.
