Oil and Gas Threat Intelligence Briefing

Intelligence often makes the difference for organizations between being prepared to defend and being a victim. To defend, we must know who is targeting us, what they are after and how they maneuver.  Knowing whether you are vulnerable to compromise for Oil And Gas can not only mean loss of revenue, but impact to whole countries. Empower your team with Mandiant’s uniquely dynamic view of the threat landscape – specific to the Oil and Gas industry. Join Daniel Kapellmann Zafra for an in depth look at the threats facing Oil and Gas; what behaviors to understand and what vulnerabilities to address in defending against the todays advanced threats.

OT Threat Hunting: What “Good” Looks Like

Exposing attackers that your technical controls may have missed often with cyber threat hunting requires advanced security skills that are hard to keep on staff.  Hunting across our OT environment is not as simple as conducting sweeps and matching the latest attacker techniques to the results. How do you know if your team, or your provider, has got what it takes to find todays advanced attacks in your environment? Join Neal Gay for a look inside Mandiant’s OT Threat Hunting team and learn what is required to hunt across endpoint, network, and logs for stealthy attacks to OT infrastructure.

Cyber Response: Lessons Learned from OT Incident Response 

Participate in this interactive discussion with Rob Labbe, of Teck Resources as we touch on some of the lessons learned from responding to OT incidents. Rob shares what has worked, as well as some of the challenges he has faced. Rob talks about how the theoretical translates to the practical in real-life scenarios, and what actually happens in the heat of the moment.

Command and Control: Four Things You Can’t Manage Without

While the other functions of your cyber defense program establish capabilities to identify, mitigate, and respond to threats, the Command and Control, or management function keeps all of these capabilities aligned to the mission. Organizations often find each group within their cyber defense is acting independently which leads to an ineffective defense. Join Megan of ISC4ICS as she shares the four things you can do to keep each of your cyber functions focused on the mission.

Disruptive thinking is needed for OT Resilience

Cyber attacks on industrial environments are on the rise and become more and more impactful. Although these environments are quite vulnerable, the world is (with increasing speed) introducing hyper connectivity over modernization and optimization initiatives like digitalization, Industrial Internet of Things, Cloud usage, etc. It is easy to conclude that this can be a dangerous mix. How can you enable OT Resilience? In this presentation we will highlight 5 core activities and why a mix with Disruptive Thinking is required.
