Critical Infrastructure and ICS Cybersecurity Issues

In this podcast, Dan Scali, senior manager for Mandiant consulting and
Grady Summers, FireEye Chief Technology Officer, discuss key issues in
critical infrastructure and industrial control systems. Bank data
centers, nuclear power plants, and water plants make up this niche
area of information security thatâs quickly gained increased
importance with recent high profile breaches. Dan covers some of the
vulnerabilities these organizations have, including lack of network
segmentation and patching, and how this allows everything from
crimeware to nation state attacks to threaten the integrity of
critical systems. Organizations of all sizes need a pragmatic approach
to security by adopting holistic security programs, employing
enterprise wide monitoring, and ensuring they have incident response
plans in place. Dan discusses some of the ways Mandiant consultants
are helping these organizations in these areas including program
development and non-invasive ICS health checks.
