Igniting Ingenuity:  Lab Insights with Ginger Wright

Forge Institute

Aligning Cybersecurity Protections with Enterprise Risk Management for Operational Technology

When information technology systems are affected by cyber attacks, the impacts largely affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of business data, but when operational technology and industrial control systems are affected, the impacts can range from loss of production capacity, lowered project quality, higher costs of doing business and physical damage. In this talk, Ginger will explore a process to leverage the existing enterprise risk management strategy to prioritize where to apply security mitigations proportionally to the consequence of a cyber attack on control systems / operational technology and additional engineering-based protections which can be applied.Virginia “Ginger” Wright is the program manager for Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). She leads INL’s implementation of the National Strategy for Cyber-Informed Engineering developed by the Department of Energy. Ms. Wright has led multiple cyber research programs at INL including DOE-CESER’s Cyber Testing for Resilient Industrial Control Systems (CyTRICS™) program, Software Bills of Material for the Energy Sector, critical infrastructure modeling and simulation, and nuclear cybersecurity. Ms. Wright has a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems/Operations Management from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
