SCADA is becoming a hot property among security professionals who work with Industry Control Systems (ICS). During this discussion, our team tackles how to view threats and respond accordingly. Discussion questions include:

  • How can organizations get their heads wrapped around what it takes to secure a modern SCADA/Business environment hybrid?
  • What happened to the air gap approach that we hear so many SCADA history folks talk about? Why did that model break down? Why can’t we go back to it?
  • What happens to threats against SCADA/ICS as mobile integration, smart grid components and other disruptive technologies come online?
  • How can SCADA/ICS security teams engage with other security professionals and each other?
