Let’s face it: Network Access Control (NAC) in the Industrial space may not have the best reputation. Who hasn’t heard these stereotypes about NAC implementations, “It’ll take a year to implement.” “It’ll take down the whole plant.” Or “You need a PhD to run it.”
In this session, you’ll get a break down of these and other top NAC myths – plus learn why ICS NAC’s time has come.
In less than 1 hour you will:
- Learn techniques for effectively communicating NAC benefits to stakeholders and ensure successful adoption and ongoing success.
- Hear real-world examples of organizations implementing NAC in complex environments, allowing them to critically assess which strategies best suit their specific organizational needs.
- Discover the safe ways to incrementally apply NAC to industrial control systems, including best practice steps to success as well as what to look out for and avoid along the way.
Plus, you’ll take a deep dive into how to:
- Get started using adaptive and dynamic access controls for granular security policies regardless of their current network architecture.
- Align NAC with risk management frameworks, correlating network access data with broader security insights.
- Address common challenges like unmanaged switches, how to effectively navigate the demands of heterogenous environments and why NAC need not be an all or nothing choice for your ICS environment.
If you are a seasoned control system professional, cybersecurity professional from either OT or IT or a system integrator who wants to understand where and how you can safely implement NAC with a methodology that maintains uptime and business continuity while avoiding common pitfalls, then this session is for you.
There will be a Q&A session, so bring your questions!
