This 2-part presentation, "Mission Critical Security in a Post-Stuxnet World," contains slides from the Hirschmann 2011 Mission Critical Network Design Seminar. It summarizes a lot of information about the Stuxnet malware and discusses what it means for the future of SCADA and ICS security.

 

The presentation is ideal for anyone needing a crash course on Stuxnet, or as a tool for informing management about the implications of it.

  • What is Stuxnet?

  • How Stuxnet Spreads

  • The Death of "Security by Obscurity"

  • Stuxnet's Impact on PLCs

  • Protecting Against Son-of-Stuxnet
