SANS Taiwan November Community Night

Join us on Wednesday, 11 November 2026 for the SANS Taiwan Community Night 2026.

SANS invites you to an evening of conversations, practical insights and meaningful connections.

Join us for a Community Night where we'll explore how AI is collapsing the technical barrier that once protected industrial systems from precision attacks, and what that means for OT security priorities going forward.

Don C. Weber will demonstrate the technique live on a real PLC, showing exactly what AI can do with nothing more than configuration files and a production AI tool.

Come connect with fellow practitioners and get ahead of a threat that's already here.

From Config Files to Attack Paths: AI and the Collapse of the OT Knowledge Barrier

Precision attacks on industrial processes used to require years of hands-on experience. That barrier protected many operators. It is now gone.

An attacker no longer needs to understand your process. They need your configuration files and a production AI tool. Logic exports, address maps, HMI project files, and vendor manuals are enough. The AI reads the logic, infers the physics, and maps dependencies between systems. It then produces ranked attack paths with protocol-level steps to execute them.

This talk demonstrates the technique on a real PLC. Don C. Weber will show what the AI produced, what it got right, and what it cost. The answer is about one analyst workday and a few dollars in API fees.

Attendees will learn why configuration files must be protected like safety documentation. They will see why engineering workstations and their remote access deserve the same scrutiny as production systems. They will leave with practical steps to adjust OT security priorities now, because this technique should be assumed to be in use today.
