Seoul Cyber Security for Control Systems

It's time for the last of our big, half-day events of 2024!
Be sure to reserve your seat in our December 4th event with over six speakers, including a panel of senior cyber decision makers from global manufacturing firms!
https://events.zoom.us/ev/Ap4VQeoyAjwH8lScyZJG9Ys3Ac4gqTEjC6h4UEb_jIuQ4z_xALZd~Aq-Nr7MNBpJbnKKHMa_-j-2q9mHiiKuCV3Pv3KVGd6oxzJ4Ml4sbPYtpCMwzevX2DOVhCV-xI4WzY4td9LgDwr8UFg

Four and a half hours of educational content and discussion, with the opportunity to ask these cyber security leaders your questions (and get 4 Continuing Educational Units of credit!) Come for part or come for all, but be sure not to miss out!

This is also the event in which we are awarding the 2024 CS2AI Passport Awards, in addition to our regular Quality Question Awards!

Ditching Misconceptions: Embracing Proactive OT Discovery and Remediation to Reduce Business Risk
With over 65 billion smart devices in use today, there are 10 times more xIoT devices worldwide than all traditional endpoints combined. Most of these devices—including OT, ICS, IIoT, and adjacent IoT Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)—are unknown, unmanaged, and unmonitored – posing significant security and operational risks.

This massive, vulnerable xIoT attack surface is being successfully exploited by bad actors engaged in cyber espionage, data exfiltration, sabotage, and extortion. And this is especially true in the case of critical infrastructure and ICS environments as businesses gain powerful business benefits while increasing their risk with the convergence of OT and IT infrastructures.

Historically, active discovery and remediation of OT, ICS and IoT devices in sensitive industrial environments has been a HELL NO because it’s been perceived as dangerous and bad – and likely to disrupt operations, risk lives, and cost millions. Brutal.

This apprehension has limited operators and security practitioners to only explore legacy passive security tools – leaving them with limited visibility, incomplete or inaccurate inventory, vulnerable assets, and operational impact on sensitive, mission-critical devices.

When done the right way, however, active solutions are the scalpel rather than the cudgel, focusing on what the devices need rather than throwing the whole kitchen sink at them. This increases discovery speed, visibility completeness, classification accuracy, and risk assessment with zero operational impact – all while allowing for proactive hardening and remediation with full control.

And remember, bad actors are counting on you being passive. They want you to fail so they can continue to evade detection and maintain persistence on your mission-critical OT and IoT devices. Disappoint them!

In this presentation, we’ll help you take control of your embedded devices. We’ll detail findings from years of threat research across millions of Cyber-Physical Systems, demonstrate how IoT and OT devices can be hacked, recognize where they’re most vulnerable, and employ strategies – including a new generation of Intelligent Active Discovery technology – to not only safely find these assets but harden and remediate them at scale.

Attendees will understand:
● What went wrong with active discovery in the past
● How safe, fast, and accurate methods of intelligent active discovery can now be leveraged
● How devices can be hacked
● Why active discovery is the new path forward for organizations to safely FIND, FIX, and MONITOR OT & IoT Cyber-Physical systems
