Attacks on operational technology (OT) have been on the rise for decades. Most recently, attackers have wreaked havoc on healthcare systems and medical devices, SCADA, IoT devices, industrial control systems, with exploits such as EternalBlue, SweynTooth, or ransomware variants.
These attacks threaten national interests, and as OT continues to be vital in day to day operations, overall business continuity is also endangered. Governments and organizations worldwide have begun implementing programs and delivering mandates to protect critical infrastructure and business operations.
James Carder, CSO & VP, LogRhythm Labs, discusses ways to evaluate risk, and tips to protect OT.
He’ll discuss:
- Key operational risks tied to various critical industries, and where OT threat landscape is headed
- 3 practical steps to improve your OT cybersecurity strategy
- 6 example cybersecurity OT use cases (e.g. real-time monitoring of SCADA, water systems, telehealth, OT/IT convergence)
