2021 ICS Cyber Security Conference

Recent ransomware attacks that shut down production for a US gas pipeline and global food processor have raised board-level awareness about IoT and Operational Technology (OT) risk. Increased IT/OT connectivity to support the business has now made it easier for adversaries to move laterally from IT to OT and vice-versa — yet many organizations continue to operate on the assumption that their OT networks are either air-gapped or sufficiently segmented from their IT networks to prevent this. In our risk assessments for organizations across all industry verticals, we have found this to be a false assumption in the majority of cases. In this 10-minute session, we’ll review some real-world attack chains and discuss why you need the bird’s eye view provided by SIEM and XDR — combined with rich telemetry provided by agentless, OT-aware network detection and response (NDR) — to detect and respond to modern multi-stage attacks that typically cross IT/OT boundaries.
