Critical Infrastructure Protection & ICS

Hack the Plant

For today's episode, I'm joined by Dale Peterson, who is on the leading edge of helping security conscious asset owners in a range of sectors effectively manage and reduce cyber risk to their Industrial Control Systems (known as an “ICS”). ICS is a computer system that monitors or controls a physical process. They exist everywhere: power generation, water supply systems, transmission, product manufacturing. We talk today about some of the key cyber vulnerabilities in these systems, and the relationship between the government and the private sector, how CEOs and other decision makers should evaluate and deploy resources to deal with ICS cyber threats, and the importance of regulators developing metrics for improving cyber security relative to ICS systems.
