CS2AI Symposium To Focus on Understanding Cybersecurity Standards & Regulations for the Industrial Control Systems Space

Join NSA Control Systems Cybersecurity Directorate + 20 experts who helped create the standards for operating technology (OT) & industrial control systems (ICS)

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, May 31, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Part of our continuing series of flagship live online ICS/OT Cybersecurity events, the next CS2AI Online Symposium is designed to bring many of the original and current leading minds that are designing, updating, monitoring, and perfecting the rules and guidelines that are defining how our industry sectors operate safely. Join 21 experts who helped create and/or write the cybersecurity standards and regulations for operating technology (OT) & industrial control systems (ICS).

Navigating the evolving landscape of cybersecurity standards, guidelines, and regulations for industrial control systems (ICS and operating technology (OT) presents a burgeoning challenge. Even top-tier organizations and seasoned professionals may require assistance in determining the applicable ones based on factors like location, industry categories, criticalities, supply chain roles, customer profiles, among others. Understanding which standards are obligatory, recommended, or simply beneficial, as well as assessing the true costs of implementation and compliance, is crucial. Managing conflicting priorities due to overlapping regulations and standards necessitates expertise and practical insights.

Join us on Wednesday, June 5, for a CS2AI Symposium delving into these crucial questions and considerations. We're privileged to host founders, visionaries, and esteemed committee members behind leading standards and regulations, offering profound insights. Following plenary sessions, seize the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions in breakout rooms with these experts, allowing you to pose direct queries. Register Here
