Fast-Track to Cyber Resilience: ISASecure and ISA/IEC 62443-4-2 Certified Edge Solutions (September 18 2024 - 11 AM Standard Time)

In today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations face increasing pressure to comply with regulations like NIS2 and CRISP while maintaining operational efficiency. This presentation addresses key challenges in adopting robust cybersecurity measures for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments.

We will explore:

1. Pros and cons of cybersecurity certification and why Eurotech has chosen ISASecure and BYHON as an Accredited Certification Body.
2. Strategies to fast-track NIS2 compliance, leveraging pre-certified solutions to streamline the process.
3. The critical role of competent hardware vendors offering component-level cybersecurity as defined by the ISASecure certification scheme, and why this approach is essential for comprehensive protection acting together with Asset Owners and System Integrators.
4. Streamlined device hardening processes that don't require highly skilled field technicians, enabling efficient deployment across large networks or in the remote field.
5. Implementation of full secure device lifecycle management, ensuring continuous protection from deployment to decommissioning.
6. The importance of zero trust architecture in today's threat landscape, and how, for instance, zero-touch provisioning can be utilized to enforce this model effectively.
