" Preventing file-based attacks on OT and ICS Networks "
Critical infrastructures are seeing an increase in attacks on operational technology ( OT ) and industrial control system ( ICS ) networks . Most recently , a recurring pattern involves the use of mutated ransomware with ICS specific components , targeting the disruption of activities rather than financial gains . In this session we will review how to prevent these attacks through a three-prong approach : 1 ) Using signatureless technologies including Content Disarm and Reconstruction ( CDR ) to prevent weaponized content ; 2 ) Segmenting networks to contain risks ; 3 ) Protecting OT / ICS-specific attack vectors , including portable ( USB ) media and computing appliances .
