Free webinar provides advice on Stuxnet and similar malware

• Outline the risks of Stuxnet and its predecessors to engineering and infrastructure companies
• Demonstrate the likely path of development for Stuxnet and its successors
• Give practical examples of how to put in place simple protocols to reduce vulnerability
• Assess the source and reasoning for the targeting of industrial PLCs
• Highlight the impact that a security breach can really have, and look beyond the immediate security impact at the potential cost in environmental, financial, social and reputational terms
• Counsel regarding what can be done to minimise exposure to such attacks

David Robinson, an automation security expert from Norman Data Defense, comments: "This is just the beginning. The high-profile nature of these attacks may well spur on the creators of this malicious software to wreak havoc on PLCs running in infrastructure and engineering. It is important we take action to lock down PLC security before it is too late."

By joining the webinar, people can also hear how the increased adoption of standardised IT throughout manufacturing, infrastructure and process environments has made the factory floor an easier target for cyber terrorists and criminals, and how malware can be unwittingly introduced into a system. There will also be opportunity to ask questions.
