In ICS/OT environments, network visibility isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the foundation for safe and effective cybersecurity, incident response, and operational/engineering troubleshooting. But what does network visibility actually mean in an ICS/OT context, and how can asset owners achieve it without disrupting critical operations in sectors like oil and gas, water, and electric power, manufacturing and other industrial environments?
Join Dean Parsons, SANS ICS515 Principal Instructor and ICS/OT cybersecurity leader, for a deep dive into the power of network visibility in industrial environments. This webcast will break down the core pillars of ICS/OT visibility, including:
- A walkthrough of network visibility in ICS/OT systems
- Deployment options: active scanning, active querying, and passive monitoring
- How passive network visibility supports threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability discovery—safely
- Leveraging network data for engineering root cause analysis and troubleshooting
- Real-world strategies for implementing scalable, non-intrusive visibility solutions
This session explores how Control #3 of the SANS Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls, ICS Network Visibility and Monitoring plays a vital role in building a defensible ICS/OT cybersecurity program.
Whether you're leading ICS/OT or converged IT/OT security operations, engineering teams, or compliance efforts, this webcast will equip you with the clarity and actionable insights needed to advance your ICS/OT network visibility goals—without compromising system safety or reliability.
