The Presentation

In 2011 ICS-CERT experienced a dramatic increase in reported disclosures of vulnerabilities in industrial control system (ICS) products. Security researchers (white, gray, and black hats) across the globe are increasing their research in the ICS product arena and the potential impact to critical infrastructure. Coordinated vulnerability disclosures of control system products are increasing rapidly, but so are the instances of unanticipated or full disclosures.
The once obscure world of ICS security is now a hot topic in the media and around the water cooler. This presentation will discuss the daunting trends in the disclosure of ICS product vulnerabilities, who is disclosing new vulnerabilities, and the coordination process used by ICS-CERT. We will also discuss what concerning trends ICS-CERT is seeing, including recent hacktivist and anarchist group activity.
