IoT and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) – Concepts, Risks, and the new Role for the CISO

Internet of Things (IoT) services, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) are connected today to internet via the corporate network. In many corporationsthese systems are in separate network security zones, with strong firewalls in-between. The securityrisks of these technologies come from many sides, internal devices as well as mass installation from outside such as DDoS attacks from COTS cameras world-wide directed on a few servers. For both security risks CISO must elaborate security plans. With two leading speakers, one from research and innovation, one from an early adopter of the upcoming technologies the discussion at the round table will be introduced and stimulated.

IoT services, Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation are pending issues in any enterprise, and future business success will depend on timely and proper application and integration of these new concepts. In this context the CISO’s organisation must be included in such projects and provide solutions for security and resilience in the three phases „protect, detect and response“.

As usual, the goal of Summit 13 is to learn from the speakers, from each other and from the background material which will be distributed before the meeting for exploring today’s baseline and designingeffective and efficient security solutions in these new fields.
