Presentation
The Road to Industrial IoT Security
Industrial IoT (IIoT) is all around us: in water, in gas, in electricity distribution networks, running power plants and critical infrastructure, in production lines and transportation networks, and so much more.
With 150 million IIoT devices coming online by 2021, industrial networks have become a target for hackers. In fact, cyberattacks on IoT devices surged 300 percent in 2019, and 41.2 percent of ICS computers were attacked at least once in the first half 2019.
So, what can be done? This session provides a roadmap to ensuring the continuity, resilience, and safety of operations when securing industrial environments. In just 20 minutes, we’ll cover:
- Identifying your industrial assets
- Segmenting your control networks
- Enforcing security policies
- Monitoring industrial processes
Attendees will leave with a better grasp of how to gain full visibility into IIoT, the requirements for a dynamic asset inventory, the value of near real-time monitoring of operational environments and process data, and a means of achieving comprehensive threat intelligence.
