Manufacturing environments rely heavily on Operational Technology (OT) systems – such as industrial control systems, supervisory control, PLCs etc. to manage production processes. Compromises of these networks and systems can have devastating consequences, including: • Production disruptions and downtime • Safety hazards: • Data breaches and intellectual property theft: • Financial losses: Ransomware attacks can cripple operations and demand hefty payments. Manufacturing is a lucrative target for Ransomware. • There is little tolerance for downtime. • Difficulty in managing OT environments (different skillsets) • Increasing connectivity between IT and OT due to digital transformation Incidents such as the well documented Colonial Pipeline attack along with other manufacturing companies like Dole, and Brunswick continue to highlight the growing threat landscape for OT security in manufacturing.

The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly evolving, and experience has shown that everyone and every organization is prone to being breached. How do you prepare for what seems inevitable? You assume breach and plan accordingly. Cyber resilience has become a top priority as organizations figure out how to build a network that can either continue functioning or can recover quickly when faced with cybersecurity attack.

Operational Technology (OT) security is concerned with protecting embedded, purpose-built technologies enabling our industrial processes. You also may have heard “adjacent” buzzwords like Internet of Things (IOT) and Fog (like “cloud” but close to the ground). OT security has significant challenges in terms of cost/size/weight, capability, ability to be updated, and robustness (often, OT failures can endanger lives). More recently, as cyber warfare evolves, OT is one of two main attack vectors. This session will explore the threats, and ability to manage them, using war stories.

Third-Party Risk Management is essential for safeguarding an organization's assets, reputation, and operations. By identifying, assessing, and managing risks associated with external partners, organizations can enhance their resilience, protect sensitive information, and maintain the trust of stakeholders in an increasingly interconnected business ecosystem. We have seen the threat landscape change in the last few years. It has always been important to properly identify, categorize, and address risks created by our vendors and strategic partners, to now having to understand the entire supply chain, and how interruptions can affect your business. Even more recently, with the rise of Business Email Compromise (BEC), risks may also come from organizations you have no previous relationship or agreements with.

Schneider Electric has over 52,000 suppliers and sells hundreds of thousands of products of which 15,000 would be classified as intelligent products. To address risks stemming from third-party suppliers, and in recognition of the risks posed to customers, we have a holistic approach to value chain security, by implementing security controls at every level (R&D, Design, Manufacturing, Distribution, Staging, Commissioning and Operating). This approach is guided by policies and regulations, continuously evolving to improve our maturity. On the Third-party Cyber posture level, Schneider Electric partners across the industry to raise cybersecurity maturity, with the World Economic Forum (WEF), ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA), and Cyber Tech Accord. We specifically have a tiered third-party risk management program which evaluates suppliers through evidenced-based reviews of their secure development processes and cybersecurity posture.

With CISA just putting out new “secure by design” guidance, Lexmark CISO Bryan Willett pulls the curtain back on the curtain back on how Lexmark is approaching secure-by-design in its products Lexmark is at the forefront of secure by design as their products constantly touch highly confidential information in regulated industries, along with an established security record validated by IDC, Quocirca, and Bitsight. Bryan talks about the impact of secure by design on hardware manufacturers; the steps his company has taken to secure its products, monitor suppliers, and push updates; and his thoughts on the CISA guidance.

Generative AI security and integrity. This is important to me because it's a cool new commercially available technology that promises efficiency and time savings--and therefore everyone wants to use it without a thorough understanding of how to secure data used with it or correcting model bias introduced through improper governance. The implications, particularly in the healthcare space, are significant where AI-driven care decisions can drift away from optimal care and have the potential to expose significant care gaps.

Responsible use and governance of AI are key issues today, as training data limitations and data retention issues must be addressed. The risk of exposing PII or other confidential data, managing bias, hallucination, misinterpretation risks and other AI considerations are discussed. Fitzgerald, T. 2019.

Artificial Intelligence: Currently these two words can mean a world of difference to different people. How do you bring this topic to the board, to executives, or to business partners, and help them understand the risks without the FUD or technical language that so often creeps into the conversation? The goal is to engage in an action driven conversation and not lead it down a theoretical path. As a CISO in a financial institution, understanding the boundaries and limitations is key to corporate success. Fitzgerald, T. 2019.

Generative AI has hit the world by storm, but unfortunately is widely misunderstood. While it brings great promise for companies, it also has risks. As employees and corporate applications begin making use of generative AI, it is important to ensure that proper safety and security mechanisms are put in place to allow value to be obtained while minimizing risk.

Heidrick and Struggles released a global CISO survey last year, stating 53% of CISOs were most concerned about significant stress and 60% were concerned about burnout. In Steve’s 20 years of software sales, significant stress and burnout have been longstanding issues that have yet to be effectively addressed and have negatively impacted his own life and those in the industry. There exists an opportunity to help cyber defenders protect themselves and their teams from these issues, enhancing both their jobs and personal lives. Join us as we discuss this critical issue as we navigate 2024 for better CISO and team health. Fitzgerald, T. 2019.

Over the course of two years, and during the pandemic, we established a new security team and grew that team from five cloud security people to over eighty. What was our talent strategy to enable that rapid growth, how did we find the right talent in a tight market, and what did we learn from the approach? Additionally, what rituals and tactics served us well to build team identity and collaboration in a hybrid world? Through all this, how do we ensure we prioritize diversity and inclusion in our teams? Fitzgerald, T. 2019.

“High Consequences Cyber” are high-risk, high-stakes cyber projects that can make or break a company or make or break the CISO’s reputation. These include issues such as, how do you architect your networks if you are a multinational with exposure to high-risk countries? What are key choices you can make when moving critical workloads such as email and collaboration to the cloud? What's the role of authentication in the age of cloud, and why do companies keep messing it up? How do you educate the board on critical or strategic initiatives while gaining their confidence that the program is well-run? If you’re coming into a new organization, how do you evaluate the team and determine how to level it up? During this month CISO Stories is focusing on Identity Management, and we discuss Andy’s views on password less identities and Zero Trust. Fitzgerald, T. 2019.
