Session description to come.

Technology advancements increase “online” presence of operations in a business, they also create unintended cyber exposures which could potentially affect safety, quality and availability of production/manufacturing environments. Protecting business from adverse consequences requires collaboration between IT & OT to promote security awareness and unified protection efforts.

Industrial Control Systems are everywhere and have an impact on our lives every day.  If they are not protected properly, we could lose access to electricity, oil & gas, and even food.  This presentation will look at what an Industrial Control System is, what the possible dangers are, and how to best protect them.

Measuring one’s cybersecurity framework against others in the same industry, or even outside of their vertical, can provide valuable insights into areas to improve or adjust.

Key Take-Away:
Attendees will walk away with a practical understanding of how to involve key stakeholders at various points in the compliance program development process and the importance of third-party risk management concerning the overall data security and compliance culture within an organization.

Businesses are increasingly built on a complex spiderweb of third-party providers that access a business’s systems, data, and other critical operations. This includes all manufacturing companies that rely on third parties—such as service providers, SAAS vendors, or contractors—to manage data and sensitive operations. Organizations typically have limited control over third parties, limited transparency into their security practices, and limited availability or resources to track third-party security upgrades. As owners and managers of portions of critical infrastructure, it is important for these companies to evaluate the current threat landscape and shift perspective on cyber threats from “if” to “when” as they examine preparedness, protocols, and employee education throughout upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.

Mitigating data privacy, cybersecurity, and technology risk throughout the supply chain should be a priority for organizations, and our presentation will touch on key considerations for third-party management, including due diligence, contractual terms, and ongoing compliance.

When a data breach or other cyber incident happens, having a plan in place can mean the difference between a quick recovery and unwanted headlines and irreparable harm to stakeholder trust.

Key take-away: 
How to rethink database security controls in a cloud-first world.

For most organizations, data repositories hold our most sensitive, mission critical assets. As enterprises continue their digital transformation journeys, data repositories and the sensitive assets within are more exposed than ever before for several reasons, including a dramatic rise in the:

• Amount of data created, collected, and stored
• Number of repositories storing sensitive data across clouds
• Number of users and applications that need access to data
