Indegy CEO to Discuss How Attackers are Compromising Industrial Control Networks at SCADA Tech Summit 2018

Indegy, a leader in industrial cyber security, today announced Co-Founder and CEO Barak Perelman will discuss how to safeguard industrial control networks from cyber attacks and malware at the SCADA Tech Summit on Wednesday, September 12.

WHO:

 

     

Barak Perelman is CEO and Co-Founder of Indegy, a leading industrial cyber security company. Prior to founding Indegy, Barak led several multi-million dollar cyber security projects for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). He is a graduate of the elite Talpiot military academy, as well as the esteemed 8200 Unit, and has over 15 years of hands-on experience in cyber security and protection of critical infrastructures.

 

WHAT:

Contrary to popular belief, industrial control networks are easy to attack, yet extremely difficult to defend. A confluence of events has caused this “perfect storm” phenomenon. Namely, SCADA environments are increasingly being connected to the Internet, exposed to mobile access and leverage  Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. Recent incidents at a Ukrainian electric utility involving the Industroyer malware and Middle Eastern oil and gas refinery where TRISIS malware was identified illustrate the growing threat weaponized malware poses to industrial environments. In this presentation, Barak will explain how SCADA and industrial control systems are attacked, the damage that can occur, and the steps necessary to safeguard ICS environments against cyber attacks, unauthorized activity and human error.

 

WHERE:

SCADA Tech Summit 2018 at the Double-Tree Oak Brook, 1909 Spring Road, Oak Brook, Illinois.

 

WHEN:

Wednesday, September 12, 2018 at 4:00 PM CDT.
