(CS)²AI Online™ Seminar: 13 Ways to Break a Firewall with Rees Machtemes (Sponsored by Waterfall)
Firewalls are staples of industrial cybersecurity programs. Often the very first investment any site makes in a security program is the purchase and deployment of a firewall. But how secure are firewalls really? If we want to design robust security programs, we need to understand the capabilities, vulnerabilities and intrinsic limitations of the technologies we deploy. Join us for a modern look at the classic topic Thirteen Ways to Break a Firewall. We review an updated list of 13 common kinds of breaches, with a host of real-life examples. These intrinsic limitations of firewalled are the big reason that secure sites demand at least one layer of unidirectional protection in their defense-in-depth architectures – in addition to the many layers of firewalls that are standard in such architectures.
Engineering Solutions for OT Cybersecurity
If your life depended on a boiler not blowing up in a cyber-attack, would you rather be protected by a spring-loaded over-pressure valve or a longer PLC password? In this webinar we dig into engineering solutions to industrial control system cyber risk, especially the emerging field of network engineering: designing networks to eliminate entirely the most important classes of cyber-attacks. Engineering has powerful tools to address physical risks due to cyber-attacks. These tools, however, are unique to the industrial operational technology (OT) space, and so are ignored in most cybersecurity advice, standards, and programs. Join us to see how to dramatically reduce cyber risks to operations through process, automation, and network engineering.
