Marcellus Buchheit (Wibu-Systems) and Terrence Barr (Electric Imp) talk about how to secure IIoT endpoints, why they are so vital to secure, and how the Industrial Internet Security Framework (IISF) can help. This talk was given during a webinar as part of the #IICSeries, a continuous series of webinars on the industrial internet hosted by the Industrial Internet Consortium.
IIoT Endpoint Security – The Model in Practiceteam-WIBU
What is your first line of defense against cyberattacks? Secure endpoints! Endpoints are everywhere in the IIoT landscape. Without proper security, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems are not trustworthy, putting organizations, their missions and the greater public at increased risk. The viability of the IIoT depends on proper implementation of security to counter the growing and ever changing threats that are emerging.
Addressing this challenge is critical to the success of the Industrial IoT, Industrie 4.0 and the Industrial Internet revolution. To that end, Industrial Internet Consortium members have developed a common security framework and an approach to assess cybersecurity in Industrial Internet of Things systems: The Industrial Internet Security Framework (IISF).

Utilizing the Critical Security Controls to Secure Healthcare TechnologyEnclaveSecurity
The development of the Critical Security Controls is transforming the way companies measure and monitor the success of their security programs while drastically reducing the cost of security. Fifteen of the twenty controls can be automated, some at limited cost to the organization, and the data is readily available to be presented in conference rooms and board rooms. Upon implementing, hospitals will have the ability to measure compliance, track progress, and know when they’ve reached certain goals.
They were developed and agreed upon by a consortium including NSA, US Cert, DoD JTF-GNO, the Department of Energy Nuclear Laboratories, Department of State, DoD Cyber Crime Center as well as the top commercial forensics experts and pen testers serving the banking and critical infrastructure communities. Since the US State Department implemented these controls they have demonstrated “more than 80% reduction in ‘measured’ security risk through the rigorous automation and measurement of the Top 20 Controls.”

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

• What is it: A set of open standards that allows for
the monitoring, positive control, and reporting of
security posture of every device in a network.
• How is it implemented: Commercial products
implement SCAP protocols to exchange and
enforce configuration, security policy, and
vulnerability information.
• Where is it going: Extensions in development to
address software design weaknesses, attack
patterns, and malware attributes.
