What Critical Infrastructure Organizations Must Do Now to Avoid 'the Big Shutdown'

Retired U.S. General Gregory Touhill (Director of the Software Engineering Institute’s CERT Division) and former Rockwell Automation CISO Dawn Cappelli sat down for an interview with ISMG’s Tom Field, SVP of Editorial, to discuss the 2022 Rockwell Automation research report on cybersecurity preparedness in critical infrastructure.

Industrial Security: Protecting Networks and Facilities Against a Fast-Changing Threat Landscape

Just as the nature of manufacturing and industrial operations has changed, so have the security risks. More connected operations can create more potential entrance points for industrial security threats. These threats can come in many forms – physical or digital, internal or external, malicious or unintentional.
