Risks and Realities of Industrial and the Cloud

04:00 - 05:30 pm CDT | Virtual

Event Overview

Technology advancements and market dynamics are driving the need for industrial organizations to transform and innovate like never before. To enable transformation and support the operational priorities of safety, availability and security, three major technologies and architectures are being considered – Cloud, IoT/IIoT and Mobility/5G.

 

This is demonstrated through the number and type of devices connecting to the industrial network – smart sensors, valves, and gauges – expanding the attack surface and making industrial environments low-hanging fruit for an attack. Cloud adoption has also increased to improve data analytics and support the growing need for remote access.

DISCUSSION POINTS

  • Threats impacting cloud deployment for industrial environments
  • Aligning cloud and industrial with the strategy and risk model
  • Security strategies used for industrial environments
