Welcome to the resources page! We have compiled a collection of useful information, tools, and resources to help you [benefit or goal of the resources].
Moving from IT or engineering roles into OT security is harder than it should be. Mike Holcomb of Fluor has written eBooks & provides a newsletter to help people with that transition. In this episode, Mike reflects on his own evolution into OT security and gives advice to others looking at making the move.
Our enemies cooperate, and so must we. Aurelio Blanquet walks us through the activities of the European Energy ISAC, with a focus on building the trust that is essential to enabling the cooperation that we need to work together.
The industrial security initiative was triggered by the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Aaron Turner, on the faculty at IANS Research, helped investigate laptop computers used by 9/11 attackers and joined up with Michael Assante to persuade government authorities to launch what has become today’s industrial cybersecurity industry. Aaron takes us through the formative years – from 9/11 to the Aurora generator demonstration.
Cybersecurity and IEC 62443 are increasingly relevant to building automation. Parking garages contain safety-critical CO2 sensors that control fans, the MGM breach is in the news and standards bodies are debating minimum security levels for different kinds of systems. Kyle Peters of Intelligent Buildings joins us to look at IEC 62443-2-1 style security assessments of modern buildings and what we can learn from those assessments.
Adversaries who can physically touch a target have a huge advantage when it comes to compromising that target. Mike Almeyda of Force5 joins us to look at tools for physical security that support cybersecurity, especially for the North American NERC CIP standards.
From aging equipment to regulators who must approve every patch, securing safety-critical rail systems is hard, but it has to be done.
Job seekers say there are no OT security job postings. Hiring managers say nobody is applying to their posts. Amanda Theel and Eddy Mullins of Argonne National Labs walk us through recruiting issues, especially for fresh grads.
Data centers are critical information infrastructures, with a lot of associated physical infrastructure. Vlad-Gabriel Anghel of Data Center Dynamics Academy walks us through these very recent additions to critical infrastructures, and digs into industrial / OT security needs and solutions for the space.
Active defense or “intrusion prevention” deep into industrial networks has long been thought of as not workable. Youssef Jad – CTO at CyVault – joins us to talk about a new approach to OT active defense that is designed for sensitive OT / industrial environments.
