I did 13 years securing ICS manufacturing at Crabbers, as the only security person. All I can say is.. Manufacturing IT is *fun*.
And by fun I mean vendors who insist you run no antivirus software, firewalls, and that their software runs as domain admin. It's wild, that is how manufacturing IT runs for critical infrastructure in the real world.

Boeing are dealing with a multiday "IT systems outage" impacting 3 manufacturing locations.
I understand it's not cybersecurity related, but a failure of Siemens ICS equipment.
Looks like Boeing may be dealing with a rapid disassembly of their company-wide IT network. The company has published a notice on its employee emergency page that says they're canceling shifts at various plants and sending home people whose job depends on IT stuff to work.
I sincerely hope this isn't the beginning of another Jaguar Land Rover type incident where production is halted for extended periods.
