First time in Tirana, AL

Mikael will presend: “How to pentest industrial systems (OT/ICS) and still live to tell the tale!” at the Bsides event in Tirana, Albania - Thursday 21/9.

Industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments are critical components of modern industries such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and healthcare - become increasingly interconnected, the need for robust security measures becomes paramount. Industrial penetration testing plays a vital role in identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and ensuring the resilience of these critical systems.

Many Security myths evolve on the security models, industrial systems (OT/ICS) and how insecure they are (True) and how no-one can pen-test in a safe way (not so true).

The presentation would also include a primer to Industrial Penetration Testing Methodologies and Exploitation techniques targeting industrial protocols and systems (Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of SCADA systems).

The takeaway for the participants would be a clear and new understanding of the current security challenges within critical infrastructure sectors (energy, water, transportation, etc.)
