🚀 As PRC-linked actors are pre-positioned inside U.S. critical infrastructure, Target-Rich, Cyber-Poor sectors still lack the resources to defend themselves. This #CriticalEffectDC panel brings together senior cyber leaders to map out a strategy that focuses on both survival and resilience.

How do we counter threats from adversaries fully aware of our defenses? At #CriticalEffect, Andrew Krapf explores how an adversary with strong knowledge of cyber-physical systems could potentially manipulate systems to cause damage, create uncertainty, and evade detection in an under-protected system.

#BSidesNOLA brought the cyber swamp energy, and ICS Village was glad to be part of it.

We had a great day talking about industrial cybersecurity, walking attendees through hands-on ICS/OT engagement, and helping more folks get up close with the systems that keep critical infrastructure running.

Huge thanks to BSidesNOLA for having us — and to everyone who stopped by, asked smart questions, tried the hands-on activities, and brought their curiosity.

Until next time, New Orleans 🐺🏭⚡

May the 4th be with you… and may your OT segmentation be stronger than a tractor beam.
From water plants to power grids, critical infrastructure deserves Jedi-level defense.
