Webinar:
The Future of Securing Industrial Endpoints
Control systems are critical to the safety, performance
and availability of the national power grid, pipelines and
other critical infrastructures. These critical points of
control must be forcefully protected at all times—but the
systems have some unique operational realities that must be
considered.
On February 16, 2012, an expert panel, led by Joel Langill "the
SCADAhacker", held a webcast that featured an interactive
discussion about the future of critical infrastructure
attacks and how to effectively combat them. Mr. Langill was be joined by Walter Sikora,
Vice-President of Security Solutions at Industrial Defender,
and Selim Nart, Vice-President of Professional Services at
CoreTrace.
During the session, the panelists discussed:
- The future of malware attacks: targeted, purpose-built blended threats that easily bypass traditional antivirus, e.g., Stuxnet.
- Why traditional, reactive endpoint security offerings are ineffective against modern malware and exploits.
- The future of industrial endpoint security: proactive, defense-in-depth protection powered by application whitelisting.
- Case Study: How one company went beyond simple “check box” compliance to truly increase the overall security of its critical infrastructure.
