Bayshore Networks Founder, CEO Francis Cianfrocca to Present Securing Critical Infrastructure April 5, at APPSEC DC 2012
Cianfrocca Will Address the Widening Gap Between Industrial Control System Vulnerabilities and Commonly Deployed Security Technologies Using Real-World Use-Cases
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/27/12 -- , the leading provider of high-end information assurance security solutions, today announced its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Francis Cianfrocca, will present Securing Critical Infrastructure at the 2012 conference, 4 p.m., April 5, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Despite heightened recognition and awareness of vulnerabilities in Industrial Control Systems (ICS), the widening gap between ICS vulnerabilities and commonly deployed security technology presents a troubling disparity. Cianfrocca will explore how and why the technology gap is widening rapidly, as organizations seek broader integration of industrial control systems with enterprise IT and increased sharing of operational data across organizational boundaries.
In his presentation, Cianfrocca will spotlight real-world use-cases from Bayshore's experience in the following sectors: building/factory-floor management; electrical grid, oil/gas; tactical battle-space application, and any of the defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"Today's standard practices and regulations generally view the assurance, integrity and availability of Industrial Control Systems as either an access-control problem or an issue encrypted streams can solve," Cianfrocca said. "While this approach has value, it is inadequate in addressing the scale, monetary impact and societal disruption created by attacks on critical infrastructure."
