Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA are everywhere, whether you know it or not. Not only do they track flow rates and turn signs for businesses, but they also activate fans and dampers for fire protection and control water distribution in your town. You can't count on ICS and SCADA to be completely off the net anymore, they are being networked internally and Internet-facing more and more. Common Enterprise IT security methods and practices don't fully cover these systems, so come and learn how you should architect and protect the infrastructure that keeps the lights on
