MANAGING SCADA SECURITY RISKS 2011
Strategies & Technical Solutions For Economically Managing Risks To SCADA Systems In A Multi-Threat Environment
As connections between the business network and the internet increase, it is apparent that organizations using SCADA systems are encountering more security threats. Due to new potential vulnerabilities to the business network, and the evolving threat landscape, there is now a greater need to increase security around trade secrets, proprietary information and the functionality of the business itself.
To do this it is necessary to gain more understanding on the scale of the threat to avoid spending millions of dollars on projects not addressing the key vulnerabilities. It is important to have an understanding of the infrastructure of your SCADA or DCS system to be more aware of your vulnerabilities to understand what security procedures, technologies and applications should be deployed for cost-effective security.
The mission of Managing SCADA Security Risks 2011 is to dispel the myths surrounding physical and cyber security by gaining awareness of the current threat environment and evaluating the scale of the threat. This will be achieved by real world examples of how companies using industrial control systems are identifying vulnerabilities and threat professionals will discuss the reality of SCADA risks and potential implications for your business. After considering what is likely to attack in day one, the event will provide an understanding of what type of architecture and revised business process can protect against and attack. This will be achieved by evaluating cost effective technical solutions for making your SCADA networks more robust at every level.
This event highlights a global challenge and a global solution is thus required: this summit will offer solutions from governments, electricity utilities, water utilities and the oil and gas industry from both sides of the Atlantic.
These stakeholders will be meeting to determine how they can work together to create a greater security around industrial control systems. Speakers at the summit will be:
- Giving strategic case studies on understanding SCADA system vulnerabilities and quantifying risk
- Giving real world examples of intrusions and break ins from a critical infrastructure stand point to gain an understanding of the cyber security response and the forensics that were done
- Determining the long term goals of NERC and smart grid standards to determine how industry will have to adapt to be compliant
- Looking at the attacks in relation to architecture, connections to understand how SCADA networks operate and the interfaces that need to be secured
- Examining the new technologies that are coming out on the market for encryption and smart grid security and evaluating the maturity of vendor’s control system devices
- Securing the network at the SCADA-internet interface and linking your SCADA system to other commercial information systems without compromising security
- Discussing how to assess what level of security is required to provide a reasonable amount of protection without limiting the functionality of your business

"I attend quite a lot of these conferences, but I felt that your content and organisation were superb"
WHY ATTEND
It is vital for the commercial viability of companies using SCADA systems that...
...they understand how to protect their SCADA networks from the important cyber and physical security threats to protect their business and ensure compliance to regulations and future mandatory standards set by NERC.
Because of this, Managing SCADA Security Risks 2011 will bring together directors from leading companies around the world that use industrial control systems to share best practices for assessing their cyber and physical security vulnerabilities and making their business more secure.
It will be the only event designed specifically for the electricity utilities, water utilities and the oil and gas industry where speakers will offer practical, commercial solutions for evaluating the real security threats, deploying security measures, mitigating security risks around wireless and smart grid, keeping your business network security segregated from the internet and public interface without limiting the functionality of the business, analysing the most cost effective technologies that can keep your network secure both now and in the future.
The conference will focus on providing solutions in the following key areas:
VULNERABILITIES: Providing real life examples on how leading utilities assess their vulnerabilities and quantify the risk to evaluate what security measures should be implemented.
REAL WORLD INTRUSIONS: Deciphering the issues around intrusion events with real world examples of protective schemes implemented before and after the event and understanding what disaster recovery plan is most effective
REGULATORY FOCUS: Determining the future trends for NERC and smart grid standards and how businesses should act to be compliant in the future
TECHNOLOGY FOCUS: Understanding the latest security technologies surrounding wireless devices and how to deploy such measures cost effectively
INFRASTRUCTURE: Looking at attacks in relation to architecture and connections to understand the infrastructure of your SCADA system to know which interfaces need to be secured to lock down your connections and guarantee system integrity
SEGREGATING NETWORKS: Determining the optimal means of segregating the business network from the internet with the use of firewalls whist maintaining business functionality
PREVENTING MALWARE: Understanding the best practices strategies and technologies from a data import point of view whilst preventing a repeat of the STUXNET intrusion
FIREWALL FOCUS: Understanding best practices around firewall configurations in order to keep the networks separate and secure
DEVICE FOCUS: Analyzing the latest technologies available for providing security down to the device level
