Operational Technology (OT) refers to the hardware and software systems designed to monitor and control physical processes with real-time data. As manufacturers strive to connect more of their machinery and manufacturing technology to their corporate network to gain operational insights, a secure OT network becomes critical.
Without proper precautions, a compromised or damaged OT could affect an entire network. Risks to OT can be reduced by understanding specific threats or vulnerabilities and implementing technical and non-technical controls to mitigate the vulnerabilities.
In this workshop, we will cover multiple threats to OT or Industrial Control Systems (ICS) including:
- OT/ICS Security “Must” Haves: OT/ICS-specific security policies, asset inventory, cross-functional team
- OT/ICS Security Architecture: Network segmentation, firewall rule guidance, authentication and authorization, monitoring, logging, auditing, incident detection, response, and system recovery
- Applying Security Controls to OT/ICS: MS Windows settings, media protections, malware protections, and intrusion detection.
Intended audience: The intended audience is varied and includes the following:
- Control engineers, integrators, and architects who design or implement OT systems
- System administrators, engineers, and other information technology (IT) professionals who administer, patch, or secure OT systems
- Security consultants who perform security assessments and penetration testing of OT systems
- Managers who are responsible for OT systems
- Senior management who need to better understand risk for OT systems as they justify and apply an OT cybersecurity program.
Please note: On-site assessments and training are grant-supported for companies in the defense industry or those interested in working in the defense industry. Implementation services are grant-supported for companies currently in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
