On Wednesday, May 16 at 2:15 PM, Charlene Mowery, Cybersecurity expert and chief sales and marketing officer, to present behind-the-headlines examination of cyber-attacks on a military control system, will present “A Behind-the-Headlines Look at Cyber-Attacks on a Military Control System.” During this session, Charlene Mowery will illustrate how attack vectors associated with identity compromise, social engineering and other factors render a military industrial control system (ICS) vulnerable to intrusions that could cripple base operations.
“Few have missed the headlines or failed to appreciate the repercussions of the Stuxnet, BlackEnergy, Havex, Sandworm and Triton/Hatman malware that has been discovered across the globe,” said Charlene Mowery. “There is a dangerous misperception that only nation-states can launch against automated and control systems. The unfortunate reality is that practically anyone can initiate such an assault, from an entry-level civilian employee to a contractor to a hacktivist team.”
Attendees will get an inside, in-depth briefing on the unique vulnerabilities of a military ICS, numerous successful attack methodologies for penetrating a military facility network, as well as proven best practices for comprehensive system cybersecurity.
