Abstract
An offline patch change management system for an industrial facility includes at least one reader device configured to read patch update information stored on computer-readable storage media inserted therein. The industrial facility includes an industrial control system that includes at least cyber asset. The system also includes a memory device coupled to the reader device. The memory device is configured to store the patch update information. The system further includes a processor coupled to the memory device. The processor is programmed to scan the at least one cyber asset. The processor is also programmed to generate a scan report including a patch status for at least one patch not operatively resident on the at least one cyber asset. The scan report includes a deployment temporal period value for deployment of the patch.
