While there are plenty of unknowns when it comes to protecting the OT attack surface, there are some things that are undeniably true.
We know that the frequency of attacks will continue to increase.
We know that it’s not if your ICS will be probed, but when.
And we also know that asset and connection visibility is an ongoing challenge due to the implementation of more automated technology.
Finally, we also know that one of the most important aspects of any cybersecurity plan is the portion that lays out the response.
One of the most effective ways to address these concerns can be the use of attack simulations. In this episode we tap in to the expertise of Tom Marsland, VP of Technology for Cloud Range, a leading provider of live-fire cybersecurity exercises and training. Watch/listen as we discuss:
- All the little things that are continuing to pose challenges to industrial cybersecurity.
- Why state-sponsored hacker groups in China are getting more of his attention lately.
- Why successful incident response is about the people, not the tools.
- The importance of "training like you fight."
- His role with VetSec, and the role it can play in filling cybersecurity talent gaps.
- How to bring IT and OT together and why the onus on strengthening these bonds might fall more on IT.
- Why the culture of security needs to permeate throughout the entire organization.
- How AI can help make the most of your people.
