AI, ransomware, and Living Off The Land (LOTL) attacks are reshaping the cyber battlefield—and critical infrastructure is now ground zero. Adversaries know our PLCs, industrial protocols, and safety systems, turning legitimate tools into weapons that can disrupt real-world processes.
To fight back, defenders need ICS-specific visibility, detection, and response powered by both human expertise and AI-driven analytics.
The ICS Solutions Track 2026 in June, chaired by Principal Instructor author, Dean Parsons, brings this defense to life with live on-screen demos, and case studies mapped to the SANS Five ICS/OT Cybersecurity Critical Controls and other industry frameworks.
Top ICS/OT vendors will showcase cutting-edge tools for anomaly detection, ransomware containment, and engineering-aware industrial ICS/OT incident response—proving how defenders can protect the systems that make, move, and power our world.


Dean Parsons, CEO of ICS Defense Force, has established comprehensive ICS security programs and leading industrial-grade incident responses across sectors like telecommunications and energy. He wrote the pivotal SANS ICS Cybersecurity Field Manuals.
