Synopsis:

The security of operational technologies (OT), including control systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, is increasingly recognized as a risk management priority for enterprises.  The education, training, and workforce needed to develop and maintain competencies for OT security is as important as security for information technology (IT).  Consequently, the NICE Framework is evolving to address the cybersecurity education and workforce needs of all technologies.  This webinar will describe efforts to update NIST’s Guide to Industrial Control System and will explore the competencies or work roles that are needed to secure operational technologies.
