Abstract: Economic and Organizational Impacts on Industrial Security

Industrial systems have traditionally grown outside the mainstream of information technologies and have lagged in security capabilities. The challenges are driven by both macro and micro economic issues and technology is often called upon to fill the gaps. This talk will touch upon causes, technologies involved, common use cases, and some suggestions to move towards resolution.
