Industrial Security Road Trip: Perspectives from around the world on the latest threats, challenges and solutions

Industrial cybersecurity is a global issue that is changing fast. OT threats changed from theoretical to real two years ago. Climate change is driving the creation of entire new industries, each with their own security challenges. The cloud is coming, sooner or later, to everyone in this space. And new regulations and new standards are driving change in even the oldest and most cautious of industries. Expert speakers take us on a round-the-world tour of threats, challenges and solutions. Bonus: Throughout the symposium, Nate Nelson and Andrew Ginter walk us through a look back at the first 100 episodes of the Industrial Security Podcast, with excerpts and reflections on episodes featuring speakers from around the world.

How to Send OT Data to Industrial Clouds from Critical Infrastructure Networks – Safely

Tuesday 6th September 2022 11AM EDT / 4PM BST

This webinar explores tools and designs to safely send data into cloud systems from critical infrastructure networks, without risk. These tools are not only powerful but are simple enough to apply routinely and are in fact used routinely by the most secure industrial sites. We look at the tools and we look at concrete examples for different kinds of clouds.

(CS)²AI Online™ Seminar: New and Updated: Top 20 Cyber Attacks on Industrial Control Systems, Sponsored by Waterfall
Wed, Aug 17, 2022 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM IDT

A sneak preview of a new report – the latest updated Top 20 Cyber Attacks on Industrial Control Systems. The attack “ruler” now includes nation-state-grade ransomware, IT-targeted ransomware that triggers “abundance of caution” OT / ICS shutdowns, and IT-targeted ransomware that triggers OT shutdowns when IT systems vital to OT networks are impaired. Cloud-seeded ransomware / supply-chain attacks are highlighted as the new biggest risk. We work an example – using the updated attack set to evaluate classic and modern security postures at a large refinery. Join us to understand how cyber attacks are impacting critical operations around the world today.
Speaker: Andrew Ginter, VP Industrial Security, Waterfall Security Solutions

Feb 2, 2021 | Manageable Zero Trust for OT Networks – Waterfall Security x dragos

Speaker: Blase Janov & Dr. Jacob Benjamin
Date: Tuesday, Feb 2, 13:00 EST (New York Time)

Why is it so hard to manage? And, what tools can make zero trust a workable and robust solution for OT networks? The combination of Dragos’ OT-centric asset discovery, mapping and management tools and Waterfall’s hardware-enforced security and segmentation tools make OT zero trust a strong and practical approach to improved OT cybersecurity.
