The event will be organized by MIT (IC)³ with Kaspersky Lab

This 2018 IAP activity is an ideal opportunity to learn more about the actual cyber threat landscape, especially about rapidly evolving cyberthreats for industrial environments, and to find out why we need to keep one step ahead of the threat actors.

The activity is split into two workstreams:

  • Days 1 and 2 are dedicated to Industrial Cybersecurity, specifically to forensic analysis of incidents and the advantages of using YARA rules to detect cyberattacks.
  • On days 3 and 4, the sessions will focus on the managerial, strategic and organizational aspects of cybersecurity.  Participants will learn about the NISF Framework for Policy and Management, experience a demonstration of the types of decisions cybersecurity leaders make and the consequences of those decisions, and create a cybersecurity plan of action. The latest research from the Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan will be included.

The agenda is designed to ensure that participants have sufficient time for informal communication and networking and promises to be an interactive and fun event.

There will also be a Capture the Flag challenge that requires you to think out of the box and be one step ahead of your fellow competitors.
