Webinar - Solving ICS/OT Patching and Vulnerability Management Conundrum

#1690101: Webinar - Solving ICS/OT Patching and Vulnerability Management Conundrum

Description:	ICS/OT vendors regularly issue patches for vulnerabilities in their software and firmware, but that doesn't mean industrial organizations that run those products can necessarily apply those security fixes. How do these enterprises keep their OT networks secure from attack if they can't always patch? What are strategies for vulnerability management and assessing the risk of exploits from these security flaws? In this webinar, experts will discuss how to secure an OT network if immediate patching is not always an option, and how to carve out a risk-based strategy for this critical environment. Speakers: Dr. Jason Clark, Independent Security Researcher Dr. Jason Clark is a subject matter expert in cyber security with nearly 20 years of real-world experience within the intelligence community, academia, and industry. He has served in important leadership, development, analyst, and research roles in fields such as network security, cloud computing, and insider threat. Currently, Dr. Clark is researching ways to mitigate various cloud computing security challenges in the modern (multi-cloud and hybrid IT) world. He has recently performed assessments and evaluations for Fortune 500 companies that are interested in modernizing and moving their applications to the cloud in the most secure manner possible. In addition to his academic achievements, Dr. Clark also holds a CISSP and is a member of both IEEE and ACM. He has served on a number of program committees, delivered numerous virtual webinars, and has presented his published work at a variety of conferences around the world. Austen Byers, Technical Director, Americas, TXOne Networks As Technical Director at TXOne Networks, Austen leads the company’s efforts in providing design, architecture, and engineering technical direction and leadership. Austen is a sought-after thought leader in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity with more than 10 years in the cybersecurity space. He has spoken at numerous industry events as a subject-matter expert to provide insight into the state of industrial cybersecurity, the intricacies of OT breaches, and providing strategies to help organizations keep their assets and environments safe.
