(CS)²AI Online™ Replay: When Data Eats SCADA

Industry 4.0 and digital transformation is causing a shift in the risk model for industrial security as the data produced by operations becomes as valuable (or more valuable) than the actual operations. An example could be an electric utility that discounts the cost of electricity as incentive to get permission to use some (or all) of the operations and usage data.

The value of the electrons is essentially fixed where the value of the operational data is virtually unlimited. This creates an opportunity for additional profit potential for creation and sale of data products in addition to the electric power to the customer.

As the organizational profit center shifts to include operational assets as well as operational data and its path outside of the operational environment, so does the risk.

In this presentation, learn how to secure your modern/future industrial organization from the industrial process to the operational data products and beyond.
