XONA is the simple and secure user access platform for operational technology. 

U.S. critical infrastructure must guard against malicious cyberattacks by implementing encryption and authentication at all access points for connected OT assets or continue to face an increased level of cyber risk.

Russian hackers are attempting to broadly penetrate Ukrainian infrastructure to disrupt critical services such as electricity, transportation, finance, and telecommunications.

Viewers will learn simple methodologies for building a zero-trust architecture to protect against such cyberattacks, including:

- Ensure all communication from IT/Internet to OT network is encrypted
- Ensure there is no data-in-transit for any user sessions not associated with a multi-factor authenticated session
- Isolate all data communication protocols to OT network
- Ensure all user access session data to critical OT systems are logged and recorded
- Ensure plant-level controls for allowing remote access through “software lockbox” and “virtual wait lobby,” including visual and audible alarms
- Monitor all non-read-only user access sessions
- Verify acceptable risk level for access to critical assets through asset monitoring, threat (IOC) feeds, and vulnerability detection tools.

Speakers:
- Bill Moore,  CEO and Founder, XONA Systems
- Mark Weatherford, Chief Strategy Officer, National Cybersecurity Center
- Jake Williams, Cybersecurity Expert

Cybersecurity Challenges Facing Remote Operators of OT & Critical Infrastructure

What Zero Trust Really Means in Complex OT Environments and How it Ensures Reliable Protection from Intrusion

Over the past few years, “zero trust” has become a commonly used phrase for security professionals. While we may understand that a zero-trust framework or architecture should be implemented as part of network or cybersecurity measures, what does this practically mean for operational technology? What does zero trust actually entail, and how does it keep critical assets safe?

In this webinar, Peter Gregel, Chief Architect for XONA and a veteran in IT security operations with extensive experience deploying mission-critical systems for the U.S. government and critical infrastructure, will answer these questions while discussing:

- A clear and simple analogy that makes zero trust easy to understand
- Features like multi-factor authentication and their role in zero trust
- How and why to keep a close eye on your attack surface
- Why complexity does not make you more secure and, in fact, introduces more risk
- Tips to validate your network scanning and protection efforts
- The role certifications like NERC CIP play in zero trust

Demystifying Zero Trust to Protect Connected Assets in OT
