This talk provides insights into designing and executing Tabletop Exercises (TTX) for Incident Response in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) environments.
The SANS ICS Five Critical Controls continue gaining traction among the community as well-regarded and must-needed security controls to achieve an organization's baseline ICS/OT Cybersecurity level. However, once established, controls must be assessed to ensure they are implemented soundly. This presentation will review each control and provide areas for quick wins.
This talk will cover various data sources and attacks on data, including data sources used for AI/ML processing. The focus will be on how to confront and mitigate these data attacks in ICS/OT environments.
