Abstract
An industrial control system module and methods are described for self-destruction or the destruction and/or erasure of sensitive data within the industrial control system module upon an indication of an unauthorized module access event. In an implementation, a secure industrial control system module includes a circuit board including electrical circuitry; a sealed encasement that houses the circuit board, where the sealed encasement includes a housing having a first housing side and a second housing side, where the housing is configured to house the circuit board when the first housing side and the second housing side are coupled together; and a first sensor component integrated with the sealed encasement, where the first sensor component is communicably coupled to the circuit board and electrical circuitry and is configured to provide an indication of an unauthorized access event.
