In the security field, we all appreciate the ever-growing, ever-changing threat landscape. One of the most pressing areas of concerns for many organisations in NZ and around the world is the Operational Technology environment (aka Automation or Industrial Control System environment).

Through commercial (ECL Cyber), community (NZ ICS Cyber TN) and training (SANS GRID) engagements, Peter has gained a wealth of experience to share with those responsible for supporting NZ industrial environments.

This talk will work though best-practice advice, building on common themes from assessments and security monitoring. Some of the touch points will include NCSC/CSSIE/VCSS, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS/ICS Cyber Kill-Chain, OT IR, quick-wins, pitfalls/rabbit-holes
