Press Coverage of ICS Security
This was a fun panel discussion on the S4x18 Main Stage with Kelly Jackson Higgins of Dark Reading and Jim Finkle of Reuters. http://traffic.libsyn.com/unsolicitedresponse/PressPanel.mp3 We covered a lot of grounds in a frank discussion including: Who is your reader?...PODCAST: IATROGENICS – HARM DONE BY THE HEALER
Nassim Taleb discusses the concept of Iatrogenics in his book Antifragile. It is commonly applied to medicine, but Taleb applies it to the financial market and proposes it could be applied to other areas. We had a panel at S4x18 that dug into the issue of how to determine when security controls are doing more harm than good.
I was joined on stage by Jake Brodsky and Joel Langill. Jake is famously conservative when it comes to applying security controls, and Joel is a big proponent of some security controls that Jake would pass on. And all three of us are highly opinionated, so it made for an interesting discussion.
S4x18 Debate: Enterprise SOC or OT SOC?
This was a great debate from S4x18. Many owner / operators have an Enterprise Secure Operations Center (SOC), and they are considering how best to handle OT incident detection and response. There are two main approaches: 1. Add OT data and incident response capabilities to an Enterprise SOC or 2. Set up and run a SOC dedicated to the OT environment.

MEDICAL CYBERSECURITY & DENSE VULNERABILITIES
After quickly agreeing that vulnerabilities in medical devices & software are dense, Dale Peterson and Josh Corman discuss where time and money should be spent on improving Medical Sector cybersecurity. Does the find and patch vulns make sense when the vulns are dense? Why does a hospital shut down for a week when a single application has an exploited vuln? How is the FDA doing in forcing change? What can we expect in the future. This and more in this episode.
