Achieving "Left of Boom" Cyber Security and Resilience in CPS
About This Session
As cyber-physical systems become increasingly interconnected, they also become prime targets for sophisticated cyber threats. The concept of "Left of Boom" refers to proactive security measures taken before a catastrophic event occurs, ensuring operational resilience and business continuity. This session will focus on strategies for anticipating, mitigating, and preventing cyber threats in industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure.
Key Topics Covered:
Comprehensive Asset Management - Enhancing visibility and control over ICS and OT environments to eliminate security blind spots. (Which go beyond the PLC)
Threat Intelligence and Early Warning Systems - Leveraging AI-driven detection and deception technology to identify threats before they impact the environment.
Risk-Based Vulnerability Management - Prioritizing vulnerabilities that pose the highest risk to operational integrity and continuity.
Incident Response and Cyber Resilience - Implementing robust response playbooks and what they should look like.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the significance of "Left of Boom" cybersecurity strategies in preventing cyber-physical disruptions.
2. Learn how AI, machine learning, and automation can strengthen early detection and response capabilities.
3. Explore real-world case studies that illustrate successful proactive security approaches in ICS and CPS environments.
4. Gain actionable insights on the role of your existing tech stack.
