Topic: How Stuxnet Spreads – A Study of Infection Paths In Best Practice Systems

Control System Security in a Post-Stuxnet World
The Stuxnet worm was a game changer for the SCADA and Industrial Automation industries. For the first time ever, engineering and security professionals (and the bad guys) got to look into workings of a worm designed to destroy industrial processes. Unfortunately, Stuxnet will probably not be the last worm of this type, and the next worm might not be so focused. Clearly industry needs strategies to protect against the "Son-of-Stuxnet” when it arrives. In this talk we look at what Stuxnet can tell us about the overall connectivity, reliability and safety of process control and SCADA systems. We will discuss possible defenses against future attacks. We will also explore what safeguards are realistic within the constraints of keeping critical industrial processes both safe and productive.
