Security Track
The Security Track will put a well-deserved focus on the infrastructure and the cyber vulnerability of industrial facilities. Automation and control computer networks, as well as the physical equipment and company grounds must be safeguarded from outside threats. A breach of security is not only unsafe for employees, but also can result in a loss of data to the outside which can devastate a business. Follow the Security Track to learn more about regulatory issues, alarming and monitoring, firewalls, encryption, physical security, safeguarding energy reserves, and more. Security standards ISA99, NIST 800, and others will be addressed.
- What are Users Doing to Secure Their Industrial Control Systems?
Tuesday, 5 October 10:30 a.m.
Track: Security
Path(s): Engineer Management
This panel session offers attendees a glimpse into what practices end users have been successfully implementing as part of their industrial control systems security programs. With the advancement of ISA-99, emergence of regulatory requirements such as NERC CIP, and an increase in research and development into securing industrial controls systems across many industry sectors, this session offers insight into effective practices using real lessons learned. Panelists from various companies will present an overview of their scope of practices and experience, and will then debate and take audience questions and comments. - Lifecycle of a Vulnerability from Detection through Mitigation

- Secure Remote Access to ICS Networks
Wednesday, 6 October 10:30 a.m.
Track: Security
Path(s): Engineer Management
Security and operational requirements for ICS Systems are often at opposite sides of the pendulum. While Corporate Risk and Security teams are often interested in closing off systems and isolating them from outside threats, the Operations side has real business drivers and needs to open up ICS systems to either internal employees, contractors, system integrators, or vendors for troubleshooting and maintenance work. The challenge lies in how to provide remote access to ICS systems in a secure manner. - Emerging Research and Development in ICS Security
