Industrial Control System (ICS) is commonly available all over the world and can be used in various critical national energy infrastructures (e.g. nuclear, gas, oil plants, chemical). However, cyber attacks have become a threat and a concern to governments and military organizations and their business continuity on control systems and associated instrumentation (Industrial Control System) in critical infrastructures, including the devices, systems, networks, and controls which are being used to operate. In order to apply Security best practice with the critical infrastructure, highly skilled staff must be available to carry out proactive operations such as the security system architecture design with the activation of security controls and Vulnerability Management for gaps (which gaps) while raising the level of awareness of employees in terms of cybersecurity and how to use the systems safely through policies and procedures with consistent standards/frameworks that ensure availability, integrity, and confidentiality. The presentation will cover the above in addition to featuring a display of the latest reported cyberattacks in the industry. As well as the best security tools that can be used.

The digital transformation brought complex cyber security challenges into OT environments, which changed the cyber threat range. While Ransomware was a common threat targeting OT/ICS environments, more complicated attacks took out the lead. For example, supply chain attacks, advanced persistent threat attacks, and quadruple extortion attacks. The Colonial and Kaseya breaches were clear examples of such attacks. Enterprises must build a strong security posture that includes both IT and OT to ensure their safety, which will require a paradigm shift from individual assets to zero-trust systems. Join us on this series of webinars to better understand how Trend Micro is securing OT/ICS environments by utilizing controls like breach detection, intrusion detection and prevention, virtual patching, segmentation, and protocol trust listing.
