DEF CON 32 Creator Stage · Day 1 · Creator Stage
Tim Chase's DEF CON 32 talk, "Manufacturing Lessons Learned, Lessons Taught," delves into the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by the manufacturing sector. As a veteran of **Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs)**, Chase provides an insider's perspective on an industry often misunderstood in its complexity and interconnectedness. He argues that manufacturing, unlike other seemingly discrete verticals, functions as a horizontal modality, underpinning nearly every other industry. This fundamental characteristic makes generalizations difficult yet crucial for understanding its security posture.
