Hi there,

ICT security refers to the measures and practices taken to protect information and communication technology (such as computers, networks, and software) from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

ICS security, on the other hand, refers to the measures and practices taken to protect industrial control systems (such as those used in critical infrastructure) from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. In short, ICT security is focused on general information and communication technology, while ICS security is focused on the technology used to control industrial processes.

Best,

Bobby
