In the first installment of our NERC CIP "Best Practices" webcast series, we'll be discussing the challenges faced in securing industrial control systems.

NERC CIP compliance is intended to assure that control systems are adequately secured against cyber attacks. However, adequately protecting SCADA and DCS environments can prove challenging. This webcast will focus on what point security and monitoring products are available for control system "defense in depth", when they should be used, and why.

The agenda includes: * Building a solid Electronic Security Perimeter * Establishing secure enclaves: what lives inside the ESP, and what should or shouldn't be allowed to cross it? * Monitoring inside the ESP using passive network monitoring * Monitoring cyber assets directly using host-based defenses * Bringing it all together: central analysis and correlation

While this webcast focuses on implementing cyber defenses, the security and event logs generated by these defenses are a requirement for NERC CIP compliance efforts as well. Join us for Part 2 of our NERC CIP "Best Practices" webcast series to learn more about event collection and retention, log review, and NERC CIP compliance.
