Manufacturing Cybersecurity - Boots on the Ground and Back to the Basics

SANS ICS Security Summit 2023
Manufacturing Cybersecurity - Boots on the ground and back to the basics
Speaker: Ian Frist, Cybersecurity Compliance Program Director, Corning
Manufacturing companies have been left behind as ICS cybersecurity has advanced. The large players in the ICS/OT industry have been working to better secure their environments for years. Those organizations have covered the basics and are working to implement advanced security solutions that help them to identify and respond to threats more quickly and efficiently. Meanwhile, most manufacturing companies have only just recently started to secure their ICS and OT systems. For some, this is driven by regulatory requirements like CMMC, and for others it is due to greater understanding the threats that ICS/OT environments face. Security vendors in the ICS space have developed advanced security solutions that help monitor and prevent threats. These solutions use the latest technologies to help secure ICS/OT environments, but they aren’t a starting point in a cybersecurity program. Instead, these solutions are designed for companies that have covered the fundamentals. Ian Frist will discuss how manufacturing companies need to pause and consider mastering the basics before purchasing a buzzword-heavy product and attempting to automate their way to better security. Sometimes there is no substitute to a boots-on-ground, back to fundamentals approach.
