Most cybersecurity threats begin in IT systems. But as the lines between IT and OT continue to blur, these same threats have more and more opportunities to move closer to critical control systems. Having both visibility and context into what assets are most at risk across your operational environments is crucial for maintaining the safety and availability of these systems. In this episode of the Security Sandbox, we'll cover the strategic use of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to safeguard cr...

Over the past decade, operational technology (OT) systems have become increasingly digitized and more vulnerable to cyber threats, making effective cyber risk management more crucial than ever. This session will explore the concept of cyber risk, defined as the potential for loss or harm to digital infrastructure, and how you can proactively apply the latest tools, trends and techniques to reduce cyber risk and enhance the resilience of your OT systems. We’ll cover: Different risk scoring app...

Traditionally, operational technology (OT) operators have shied away from active monitoring methods, driven largely by concerns over system disruption and OEM vendor validation expectations. However, the tide appears to be turning. Over the past few years, we’ve seen mindsets evolving from relying on a 100% passive approach to embracing more active monitoring methods to get deeper asset context, including configuration information, log files, user activity correlation, USB insertions, and eve...
