Overview

Increasingly, Industrial Automation and Control Systems ((IACS) are becoming targets for cyber-attack. A combination of relatively easy targets causing maximum disruption makes it attractive to a range of cyber criminals.

Good cyber management allows a company to understand their cyber risks, manage and mitigate their vulnerabilities, and prioritise actions to secure their Operational Technology (OT) network.

This webinar is aimed at instrumentation and control, and control and automation engineers.
