Fortinet Fast Track: “Cybersecurity for Safe, Reliable, Secure Industrial Control Systems (ICS)”

Description

Exclusive Networks, in partnership with Fortinet, is hosting an online fast-track workshop for anyone interested in learning more about:

“Cybersecurity for Safe, Reliable, Secure Industrial Control Systems (ICS)”

Connections between IT and operational technology (OT) systems are no longer air-gapped, creating opportunities for hackers to penetrate industrial control systems (ICS) and jeopardize the safety and availability of critical infrastructure. Securing OT environments requires visibility, control, and analytics to meet stringent safety and availability demands.

The convergence of IT and OT is blurring traditional boundaries, creating opportunities to improve visibility, control, and situational awareness for critical systems. However, failing to consider the wide range of security challenges when bringing these two very different network domains together can result in catastrophic failures—endangering critical infrastructure as well as the safety and well-being of workers and communities.

In this workshop, participants will learn about the Fortinet Security Fabric, the first architectural security approach designed to dynamically adapt to the unique needs of legacy OT environments while supporting the modernization of these critical systems. By leveraging the Purdue Model to address OT security layers, the multi-layered approach of the Security Fabric delivers broad, integrated, and automated protection against sophisticated threats.

Everyone is welcome to attend this insightful fast-track workshop, whether they are Exclusive Networks partners or customers.

What participants can expect to learn:

-Configure internal segmentation
-Explore the FortiGate asset list, network topology, and FortiNAC visibility
-Implement FortiGate access control
-Configure virtual patching through IPS
-Configure industrial protocol visibility and security
-Implement deception using FortiDeceptor
