Topic: "An Introduction to Securing Control Systems" - This session will discuss the options for securing Control Systems. Control Systems are used to record, monitor and control equipment or plants in real time in a range of industries including telecommunications, transportation, water and waste, energy, oil and gas refining.

There are a number of constraints and limitations which drive behaviours in the design and deployment of security controls for these systems. This session will start with a brief explanation of the differences in security priorities that apply to Control Systems, followed by a security control design and deployment options discussion for these sensitive environments.

Speaker: Crispin Harris

Crispin Harris has a broad range of security experience in both the public and private sector. His current role is leading security in the IT Operations environment for Fortescue Metals Group which covers both enterprise and SCADA systems including some National Infrastructure responsibilities.
