Cyber Security for Industrial Control Systems
 


Date, time & venue

2019-09-09;18:30-20:00;Chan Yat Mei Sophie Room – 9/F

Jointly Organized by CAD,  EVD and AMC

Programme Highlights:

Studies show more than half of industrial control systems have faced cyber-attacks.  The magnitude of these attacks must not be undermined as it can result in catastrophic disasters (e.g. Stuxnet attack which hit Iran in 2010). Many factories nowadays still run on vulnerable legacy systems designed back in the times where OT security was rarely a concern.  With IT / OT converging rapidly within organizations, these systems are becoming ever more vulnerable to attacks.  A successful attack on the industrial system will not only cause downtime but potentially result to loss of lives.

How is OT network different from IT?  What measures can we take to protect these critical systems?  This talk aims to introduce the fundamentals of industrial cyber security including how current technology can be used to discover existing or potential threats within the OT network.
