Modern Cyber Threats: Industrial Control System Cyber Weapons & Protections
Dean Parsons - Cybersecurity Leader | ISO | Industrial Control System Defender | Speaker

Abstract

Cyber threats are constantly multiplying and assuming new forms. Modern attacks are designed by skilled, financially motivated and supported adversaries. Globally we’ve passed the point where cyber attacks only target and disrupt IT networks and business applications. Industrial Control Systems (i.e.: electrical power grids, transportation systems, oil & gas pipelines, water management systems, manufacturing facilities, etc.) are now a target posing physical equipment destruction and potential safety risks. Take this opportunity to discuss the emerging threats and defenses applicable to Canada’s Critical Infrastructure and other Industrial Control Systems that underpin our modern society.
