Applying Zero Trust in Utilities: Build a Roadmap to Protect Critical Infrastructure

Applying Zero Trust in Utilities: Build a Roadmap to Protect Critical Infrastructure

The utilities sector is increasingly being targeted by cyber threats, exposing vulnerabilities that can disrupt operations and compromise safety. Organizations are applying a zero trust approach to secure their operations; but the nuances common in utilities’ environments require an adapted zero trust approach. Join IANS Faculty member and certified ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Specialist Jennifer Minella as she draws on her two decades of experience working with utilities to help you build a roadmap for applying zero trust to an OT/ICS system by using the NSTAC five step process for zero trust implementation.

• Understand the connection between cyber resilience, zero trust and OT security, and how to tackle them together
• Develop asset inventory and visibility strategies to define your protect surface
• Discuss how to map all data and operation flows within an OT environment
• Walk through building a zero trust architecture (and why we can’t do traditional microsegmentation in an OT environment)
• Understand what zero trust policy looks like in an OT environment
• Examine how to build in threat monitoring and alerting
