Event Description
Targeted ICS ransomware has emerged as a pervasive threat to manufacturing operations. All plant downtime due to cyber-attacks in 2020 was because of targeted ransomware, resulting in sometimes weeks-long shutdowns. Worse, these attacks almost always took down multiple plants at once, overwhelming incident response teams, and increasing the likelihood that perpetrators could extort a ransom payment.All manufacturing sectors must learn how to protect against this now-pervasive threat. This webinar, by leaders in OT cybersecurity, provides an in-depth exploration of the topic. We cover the threat landscape for industrial / OT automation in manufacturing. In the context of those threats, we then explore a variety of topics, challenges and constraints, including: protecting MES systems, ICS/OT network and cloud connectivity, and an organization's tolerance for cyber risk. We then explore solutions - how to use the ransomware kill-chain to design defenses, with concrete recommendations based on real-world scenarios.
Join us to understand today's and tomorrow's threats and to explore robust, practical responses to this evolving threat environment.
