Secure South West 9 - Adam Wedgbury - Securing ICS and CNI from Cyber Attack
Channel: Secure South West
Date: 2017-11-19

Industrial Control Systems are ubiquitously present in the modern world, touching our daily lives in almost every way. At the heart of Critical National Infrastructure and high vale industrial processes, these systems are increasingly becoming the target of cyber attack from a variety of threat actors. Differing significantly from IT systems and suffering from a large legacy estate, securing Industrial Control Systems is a difficult, but evermore important task. 

This talk outlines the evolution of Industrial Control Systems and the threat landscape they face, a brief history of current events, the challenges of securing these systems and some of the cutting edge work being done to redress the challenges.

The session was part of Secure South West 9 at the University of Plymouth on 12 October 2017.
