Leveraging Network Visibility to Validate Defensible Architecture
About This Session
The SANS ICS Five Critical controls provide an overview of the core principals of cybersecurity in critical infrastructure. Control 3, ICS network visibility, provides the positive feedback to validate the implementation of the other critical controls. Using network visibility to see the outcome of several tests, organizations can see and validate the defensible architecture solutions in place. Attempting to jump network zones, bypass firewalls, or break through levels of trust highlights whether network defenders can see such attempts and that the current segmentation tools are effective implemented. Furthermore this process can be automated.
