The impact of the COVID-19 crisis has been severe for organisations across the globe, with many industries forced to halt almost entirely and losses in productivity potentially reaching trillions of dollars around the world.
Changes to operational practices have become commonplace in response to the restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the virus. This greater reliance on technology has exposed organisations to an increased level of cyber risk, exacerbated by the constant evolution of more complex methods of cyber-attacks.
All industries and companies can be negatively affected, but those with industrial control systems (ICS) for monitoring and controlling critical equipment and processes can be particularly vulnerable, as a successful attack could also cause physical damage to facilities.
The last thing an organisation already under strain needs is the additional damage that a cyber-attack could cause, so building resilience through risk management is more important now than ever.
Join Tiago Dias, Cyber Consultant for EMEA at FM Global, and Jason Sirros, Staff Engineering Specialist, to discuss different practices and recommendations for the protection of ICS as we enter the new reality of a COVID-19 world.
