A community of practice is natural way of building something through intuitive learning exercises ( lean development methodology) that people lack the knowledge to accomplish on their own.
These barriers to enabling new markets have always existed from ancient times to present day. The "community of practice" bridges technology processes and people to naturally solve what people need to know and learn quickly.
The Security Fabric Alliance is an informal consortium dedicated to the deployment of "designed in security" for embedded systems in critical infrastructure.
It uses the NIST IR 7628 guidelines and the "tailored trustworthy space" as the basis for the Security Fabric Reference Architecture. The SFRA is discussed in detail in the slides herein.
Robust Cyber Security for Power UtilitiesNir Cohen
The security of critical networks is at the center of attention of industry and government regulators alike. Check Point and RAD offer a joint end-to-end cyber security solution that protects any utility operational technology (OT) network by eliminating RTU and SCADA equipment vulnerabilities, as well as defends against cyber-attacks on the network’s control and data planes. This solution brief explains how the joint solution enables compliance with NERC-CIP directives, provides deep visibility and control of ICS/SCADA communications, and allows secure remote access into OT networks.
Learn what makes SCADAguardian (the Nozomi Networks flagship technology) so unique and powerful. From enterprise IT, to OT, we enable scalable security strategies for ICS.

Wireless sensor networks will be widely deployed in the near future. While much research has focused on making these networks feasible and useful, security has received little attention. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are a most challenging and emerging technology for the Research due to their vital scope in the field coupled with their low processing power and associated low energy. As wireless sensor networks continue to grow, so does the need for effective security mechanisms. Because sensor networks may interact with sensitive data and/or operate in hostile unattended environments, it is imperative that these security concerns be addressed from the beginning of the system design staring with a brief overview of the sensor networks security, a review is made of and how to provide the security in the wireless sensor networks. This paper studies the security problems, Requirement, Architecture of WSN and different platform, characterized by severely constrained computational and energy resources, and an ad hoc operational environment.

See how the latest evolution of Cisco TrustSec helps protect critical assets by extending and enforcing policies anywhere in your network. Go in-depth with how Cisco TrustSec simplifies your network security with software-defined segmentation.
Does your system run the risk of being attacked?
There is an increasing risk world-wide of sophisticated cyber-attacks being targeted towards critical infrastructure. A successful attack on these networks could have a substantial impact on our society, causing great economic loss or worse. Regardless of if you are upgrading an existing network or building a new one, the security of it should be a major consideration.
Micro-segmentation is a combination of firewalls, subnetting, and using VPNs to create an extremely secure network by locking down each individual device. A system which has implemented micro-segmentation enjoy benefits such as maintaining application security, reduce the attack surface and complying with regulations.
Unidirectional Security, Andrew Ginter of Waterfall Security Digital Bond
This presentation reviews the spectrum of perimeter solutions based on unidirectional technology - solutions that are being deployed to protect the safety and reliability of industrial control systems. Learn why the technology is truly unidirectional based on physics and different ways it can be used in SCADA and DCS.
Many practitioners find parts of the spectrum to be counter-intuitive. Further, some parts of the spectrum are straightforward to deploy, and others require that practitioners take some care to ensure that the results really are as strong as they should be. Technologies and techniques covered include unidirectional gateways, secure bypass, temporary/programmed gateway reversals, opposing gateways, secure remote access, and parallel operations and IT WANs.
Tatsuaki Takebe of Yokogawa Electric Corporation provides the closing keynote with a focus on international standards activity and how it affects the Japanese ICS community.
Overview on the state of WIFI security for WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA3. Looking at their protocols, weaknesses and attacks.
The presentation finishes with a live demo on 2 attacks: Karma Attack and Evil Portal Attack
In today’s connected world, cyber security is a topic that nobody can afford to ignore. In recent years the number and frequency of attacks on industrial devices and other critical infrastructure has risen dramatically. Recent news stories about hackers shutting down critical infrastructure have left many companies wondering if they are vulnerable to similar attacks. In this webinar we will discuss the most common security threats and unique challenges in securing industrial networks. We will introduce the current standards and share some useful resources and best practices for addressing industrial cyber security.
Key Takeaways:
1. Gain perspective regarding common security threats facing industrial networks.
2. Learn about the relevant standards governing industrial cyber security.
3. Increase understanding of some best practices for securing industrial networks.
Network Architecture review in context of Information security helps to understand how to actually review the components of network with respect to best practices.
Research talk I gave at Semiconductor Research Corporation workshop in September 2017. Here I set research goals to create a new type of security technology to protect autonomous systems.
The answer is no for about 90% of the cyber assets due to the very minimal risk reduction achieved. Spend your effort elsewhere. Presentation goes over categories of security patching in ICS and recommends prioritized security patching.
RITA SECURE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL: APPLICATION TO SCADAcsandit
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have their own constrains and specifications. These systems control many of our critical industrial infrastructures, yet they are hardly secured. The biggest problem in securing these systems is the lack of cryptography support especially that most SCADA systems work in real-time which is not compatible with most cryptography algorithms. Additionally, a SCADA network may include a huge amount of embedded devices with little computational powers which adds to the cost of any security improvement. In this paper we present a new approach that would secure SCADA communications by coding information without the need of the complex cryptography algorithms. The reconfigurable information transmitter agent (RITA) protocol that we present does not need the already installed devices to be modified nor replaced, it only needs to add costless electrical chips to these devices. This approach can also be used to secure any type of communication that respects the protocol's constraints.

ICS Security from the Plant Floor Up - A Controls Engineers Approach to Secur...Digital Bond
The presentation covers assessment, implementation methodology, and current level of success for addressing four key objectives which are protecting the controls fieldbus (networks) from untrusted networks (domain), secure and safe remote support capability from both inside and outside of the company, control supplier access to manufacturing equipment when onsite, and protect manufacturing systems from Malware and intrusion. This system isn’t theoretical, it’s in broad use and full critical production. If the time and connectivity is available a quick remote access demonstration can be given. The presentation will wrap up with a series of thoughts and ideas that occur to me regarding security in general as I listen to other organizations and groups talking about various security needs and activities.
More and more IoT vulnerabilities are found and showcased at security events. From connected thermostats to power plants!
Insecurity became the favorite subject for creating catchy IoT headlines: "Connected killer toaster", "Fridges changed into spamming machines","Privacy concerns around connected home".
We will explore the five challenges one has to face when building a secure IoT solution:
- hardware security: how to avoid rogue firmwares and keep your security keys safe?
- upgrade strategy: you can't secure what you can't update!
- secure transport: no security without secure transports.
- security credentials distribution: how to distribute security keys to a fleet with millions of devices?
- cloud vulnerability mitigation, how to keep your fleet of devices safe from the next Heartbleed?
Current enterprise infrastructure provides solutions for handling application security but are they really matching the IoT challenge? Could running a PKI client on a low power wireless sensor node be an option?
Despite those difficulties, we will show how a modern IoT device management standard like Lightweight M2M with DTLS is the way for building a secur-first IoT solutions. It provides a solution for upgrading your device, distributing your security keys and comes with a full range of cryptography cipher suites, from PSK algorithm for very constrained devices to high level of security using X.509 certificates.
Furthermore for adding security to your solution we will present you ready to use opensource libraries for implementing secure IoT servers and devices. The way for quickly releasing your next catchy connected product.!
Ultimately we will showcase Wakaama and Leshan, the Eclipse IoT Lightweight M2M implementation maybe your next best friend in the troubled water of Internet-Of-Things security!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

5. Confidentiality
– Encrypts sensitive data for matters of
privacy.
6. Integrity
– Ensures that messages have not been
altered.
7. Availability
– Prevents denial of service attacks
1. Identity Management
– Ensures the device identity is established
genuinely
2. Mutual Authentication
– Allows both the Device Node and the
Controller to verify the trustworthiness
their identity to each other.
3. Authorization
– Manages permission to proceed with
specific operations.
To establish the secure communications from the Controller to the Device Node
using the Security Fabric elements, you need to do all seven… not just some.

Data Routing Services.
The Content Aware Firewall deals with
multiple layers and is state sensitive.
13. The Content Aware Firewall ( Secure Crossing )needs to be aware of:
the Layer 6 socket level interface,
as well as the intended sessions that will be flowing over it at Layer 5,
so that it can use UDP connections at Layer 4,
so that it can use the IPsec VPN to control encryption on the transport.

16. Essentially, the Security Fabric is an
end-to-end approach to things.
The Security Fabric is a semi-autonomous embedded device
management agent and communications protocol set along with
a central system and network management subsystem
that bring security and other controls to the embedded world.

Let’s build this as if we were building a house.
17. There are obviously going to need to be several
different devices involved.
Controller

Our agent will be hidden
right beside the application.
We want to add our security agent to each of them to do what we will do.
18. The devices need to be able to talk to each other
securely, and trust each other on a limited basis.

This means that the solution will need to be a system as opposed to a piece part.

The agents talk to one another
in a resilient middleware..
19. And all systems need to be administered relative to
the configuration and policies that control them.

24. What is really unfolding with the rise of the Internet of Things is the need for
The Semi-Autonomous Policy Management Agent
Each of the four compositions
of rulesets is administered
centrally and released to the
remote device securely.
The rulesets contain profiles,
provisioned data, and
Java-based rules.
All distribution bundles are
signed and are subject to
local attestation and
transition control.

25. The control of the smart grid is all about
managing semi-autonomous devices.
The Security Fabric is all about safely deploying this concept.
The customer has to be able to delegate responsibility in small increments
to the remote device to avoid the problem of unintended consequences.
