Applying the New NCSC / CISA Guidance
8 principles for secure OT connectivity
Join us on February 18, 2026, 12 noon New York Time
New guidance from the UK NCSC, co-signed by CISA, BSI, Australia’s ACSC and others, introduces significant updates for securing critical infrastructure.
In this webinar we will review the 8 principles and dozens of sub-principles, while introducing a simple grid for visualizing coverage. We apply the grid to network architectures typically seen in power generation, pipelines and passenger metros, evaluating the residual risk for each architecture in light of this guidance.
In a webinar on February 18th, Andrew Ginter takes us through:
Aggressive patching for Internet-exposed and IT-exposed equipment.
Centralizing dangerous IT and Internet connectivity
Designing communications to simplify inspection
Hardening the IT/OT interface with hardware-enforced remote access and unidirectional technologies
Firewalled micro-segmentation to control lateral movement
“Browsing down” for engineering workstations
Managing “break-glass” accounts
New designs for unidirectional hardware in emergency islanding / isolation scenarios
