Engineered for Secure and Reliable Power: Making Communications More Reliable, Secure, and Cost Effective
Chris Blauvelt, Director, Operational Technology Eastern Region, Fortinet

Power and utilities CEOs are not taking the risk of cyberattacks and damaged infrastructure lightly. A recent survey reveals that 48% of CEOs say an attack against critical infrastructure is imminent. From generation through distribution, protecting critical infrastructure against cyber-attacks while ensuring physical safety and productivity is a top priority.

As utilities increasingly adopt business models that connect OT power generation, transmission and distribution assets to IT networks, critical infrastructure is more vulnerable to cyberattack. Fundamental shifts are occurring in the way that they generate and collect data. Because of their distributed locations they have traditionally relied on expensive leased lines or MPLS circuits to provide secure, reliable communications. Secure SD-WAN is a modern solution to meet the needs of secure, distributed communication, without the cost associated with legacy solutions.

In this session, we’ll explore how

• integration of SD-WAN into network architectures now enables operators to take advantage of LTE and 5G communications as they become commodity communication mediums
• adoption of distributed computing can be part of a long term strategy that allows power and utilities to take advantage of emerging wireless WAN technologies and data born applications with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
• the Fortinet security driven networking provides the protection for the remote assets used from generation, transportation and distribution in energy and utilities.

Setting Priorities in Election Security
Jim Richberg, Public Sector CISO, Fortinet

Ensuring election security is a partnership across levels of government, and a pressing issue in an major election year. Our elections are the very foundation of our democracy. But during this time of national crisis, state and local governments are strained both in terms of resources and finances. How can governments prioritize their efforts to ensure that elections are secured? This session will explore core technologies and strategies where governments can focus their attention in preparation for the 2020 elections.

A Foot in Both Camps: An Unusual Perspective on Cyber
Jim Richberg, Public Sector CISO, Fortinet

Facing evolving and growing cybersecurity threats, government agencies have historically tried to achieve three key goals: shared situational awareness across federal networks, a Common Operating Picture of threats, and the ability to respond at machine speed. Key factors that impede these efforts were stovepipes between agency cybersecurity centers and the number of cybersecurity solutions and tools agencies had acquired that required manual/human integration because they were not interoperable. In contrast, the private sector has overcome many of these obstacles.

This session will share the key observations on the intersection of cybersecurity in government and industry from the perspective of a former senior government official who will address: What key aspects of cybersecurity does the private sector tend to misunderstand that make sense to government – and vice versa? Are we on the verge of revolution that will tip the balance between malicious actors and cyber defenders? Why is generating useful measures of cyber performance so difficult, and what can we do to improve it?

Securing Medical Devices: The Next Threat Vector

Securing the Future of Manufacturing
The Impact of Platform Approach in an Era of Digital Innovation
Richard Peters, CISO, Operational Technology North America, Fortinet

In today’s connected world, the convergence of IT and OT are inevitable. The merging of the cyber and physical world continues to pressure manufacturers to work faster and smarter while keeping legacy and modern systems secure. In fact, Gartner predicts that OT security spend will range from $8 billion to $14 billion by 2022.

As the air gap dissolves, these systems are exposed to an increasingly advanced threat landscape and are targets for hackers involved in terrorism, cyber warfare, extortion, and espionage. OT systems around the world are barraged with both recycled IT-based attacks and purpose-built OT exploits. One survey finds that 74% of OT professionals had experienced a breach in the past 12 months. Attacks on critical infrastructure in the manufacturing sector can result in financial loss, risk to brand reputation, and sometimes even loss of life or threats to national cybersecurity.

During this session, we’ll explore the

• top trends impacting today’s manufacturers including IT and OT convergence, manufacturing-as-a-service, connected intelligent manufacturing and workforce dynamics
• three key ingredients needed in your cybersecurity strategy – broad visibility, integrated control, and automated response – and their impact on securing the future of manufacturing
• value of the Fortinet Security Fabric as the platform to deliver a cybersecurity for IT and OT across all layers of the Purdue Architecture

Retail: Preparing for the New Normal
Courtney Radke, Retail CISO and Principal Architect, Fortinet

It goes without saying that most of the Retail industry has not been able to capture near their sales volumes prior to Covid-19. The National Restaurant Association alone reports that over $25 billion in restaurant industry sales were lost during the month of March and projected losses are expected to top $225 billion by June. According to IHL, Retail as an industry in North America is down $45 billion from forecasted revenue. These sobering statistics paint a picture of the state of the industry as a whole but through it all we see another side to the story. That is one of courage, ingenuity, foresight, and continued Retail Resiliency.

Retailers are adapting by expanding their digital presence and creating new operational models to reach their customers. This rapid innovation has allowed retailers maintain operations and navigate the waters in these challenging times. Unfortunately, threat actors see things differently; they see an opportunity to capitalize when retailers are most vulnerable. Businesses have been trying to rapidly evolve their security posture by buying point solutions to protect the new connections, network traffic, and data that comes with those new technologies…but it’s hard for them to keep up and to stitch it all together. This is where Fortinet is helping these customers in their time of need.

In this session, we will discuss how Fortinet’s Secure SD-Branch solution, which includes SD-WAN, FortiGate, FortiSwitch and FortiAP, all centrally managed through one platform, are weaved into the Fortinet Security Fabric to protect and defend the evolving retail environment, network, and data. This provides retailers confidence in knowing they are protected from the new and emerging threats that come with the “new normal” and lets them focus on what is important: their business and serving their customers.
