Critical infrastructure organizations are on alert as bad actors see operational technology as an attractive target. Ransomware variants, phishing emails, wiper malware and more show up as tactics used to disrupt services offered by cyber-physical systems. As digital transformation grows, so does the number of users, devices and applications connected across operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and cloud domains. This increases the number of remote users accessing critical systems like meters, sensors, and industrial control systems.

For many asset owners and operators, there is a positive impact on efficiency that is countered by an increase in cyber risk. The expanded attack surface introduces known and unknown threats to critical systems. During this fireside chat, will look at the threats impacting critical infrastructure organizations and discuss the value of a threat-informed defense strategy for securing these organizations.
