Black Hat USA 2024 · Day 1 · Briefing
Piotr Ciepiela's Black Hat USA presentation, "Navigating the Complex Challenges of Setting Up Efficient and Robust OT SOC Capabilities," delves into the unique and often underestimated difficulties organizations face when trying to secure their Operational Technology (OT) environments. As a pioneer in the field, Ciepiela brings over two decades of experience to highlight why traditional IT security approaches fall short in industrial control system (ICS) contexts and what strategic considerations are paramount for establishing effective OT Security Operations Centers (SOCs). The talk emphasizes the critical need for a distinct understanding of OT's operational realities, resource constraints, and the pervasive lack of visibility that plagues many organizations.
