For a long time, most plant personnel responsible for distributed control systems have avoided the cyber security talk. But is it really as complicated as it seems? It certainly doesn't have to be. Starting the conversation is always a good step in the right direction. That's why we'll talk with DCS and cyber security experts about what information plant personnel really need to know — from cyber security programs and standards to what resources already exist to help them.

There is often a high level of mistrust and misunderstanding between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). This session will help break down barriers and show you how to bring together both worlds to solve your cybersecurity issues. Hear from a panel of industry experts on bridging the gap between IT and OT for a successful collaboration on industrial cybersecurity.

Key learning points:

• Why an OT cybersecurity program is essential for maintaining cybersecurity
• Why a successful cybersecurity program requires collaboration between IT and OT
• What makes IT and OT different from one another

Process hazard assessments (PHA) do not consider cyber threats to industrial control systems (ICS); however, cyber threats represent additional failure modes that may lead to the same health, safety and environmental consequences identified in the PHA. Functional safety and industrial cybersecurity standards provide guidance on how to integrate these two disciplines to ensure that cyber incidents cannot impact process safety.  This webinar discusses: 

• Guidance provided in industry standards regarding ICS cyber risk assessments (AKA Cyber PHA)
• Benefits and business justification for performing them
