Critical Control System Vulnerabilities Demonstrated - And What to Do About Them
November 2, 2011 at 1pm ET
Control systems are embedded in most industries to automate the production, delivery and safe storage of the food and drinks we consume, the transportation we take, the chemicals we process, and the energy we utilize. These systems, some of which are being connected directly to the Internet, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. In all, the U.S. government has identified 17 sectors relying on control systems as critical to the national infrastructure. Of the 17 critical sectors, 16 of these rely on the safe operations and availability of control systems.
In this webcast, Matthew E. Luallen, co-founder and president of infrastructure security consultancy, CYBATI, and adjunct faculty at DePaul University, will reveal the latest threat research against some of these systems that is being discovered by his students at DePaul University’s Critical Infrastructure and Control Systems course. Joining Matthew will be Eric D. Knapp, director of critical infrastructure markets for Nitrosecurity and Author of the book, Industrial Network Security: Securing Critical Infrastructure Networks for SmartGrid, SCADA, and other Industrial Control Systems, to discuss solutions.
