H2OSecCon attendees will have the opportunity on Day Two to actively participate in an afternoon tabletop exercise developed by Dragos for its new OT-CERT (Operational Technology – Cyber Emergency Readiness Team) program. The exercise is a facilitated discussion to provide water and wastewater utility OT and IT staff (operators, engineers, analysts, managers, supervisors, executives, etc.) an opportunity to practice cyber incident response processes and procedures based on an OT-impacting ransomware incident. The exercise will also help identify areas of excellence and potential opportunities for improvement. Come one, come all!! NO CYBERSECURITY EXPERTISE NEEDED!

Even if you’ve never thought about ransomware – or don’t believe it will happen – it is impacting organizations and utilities of all sizes. It’s also impacting OT/ICS environments more and more. This exercise will give you a jump start so you are prepared in case it happens to you.

Note: While there is no additional cost, a separate registration for this TTX is required and will open next week. Current H2OSecCon registrants will receive notification when registration is available. Otherwise, keep checking H2OSecCon for continuous updates!
