Closing General Session

Part I: The Arubis Clock presented by Aamir Lakhani, Senior Red Team Researcher, Fortinet
The threat landscape has completely changed. In the last twelve months, we have seen supply chain attacks, an increase in ransomware (with an explosion of cryptocurrency value), and a dedication from attackers against industrial control and IoT systems.

The remote workforce is expected to continue to be a target in 2021 along with corporate assets that are finically and politically motivated by attackers.

We are working, communicating, and interacting in ways that are different taking advantage of remote applications and connectivity technologies. Attackers know this as well. They are targeting your VPNs, remote desktop systems, growing more advanced with phishing attacks, targeting home-based IoT systems, remote conferencing applications, and gaming systems.

Let me introduce you to the bad guy and how we are all on borrowed time against the attackers and the Anubis Clock.

Part II: Protecting the OT Network presented by Tim Saldivar, Principal Systems Engineer, Fortinet
In this session, we will look at the consequences of Cyber Attacks in OT environments and the most common attack methods used. We will then apply this to recent high-profile industrial attacks. It’s important to understand that the world of OT has a vocabulary that is much different than IT. We will discuss these differences as well as common OT protocols and the Purdue Model. Finally, we will discuss why and where Fortinet fits in the OT discussion with your customer and prospects.
