 l\n   When: Friday\, Aug 9\, 14:00 - 14:30 PDT\n   Where: LVCC West/Floor 
 1/Hall 3/Creator Stage 2 - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   Economic effici
 ency and increasing automation mean that many\n   industrial assets are re
 motely monitored and controlled. While some\n   assets\, such as oil produ
 ction platforms\, remain manned in isolated\n   conditions\, the ecosystem
  of renewable energy and distributed energy\n   resources (DERs)\, pipelin
 es\, and other assets are increasingly\n   unmanned with control extending
  over common information links. While\n   this has been a boon for cost\, 
 it has also resulted in a radical\n   extension of attack surface for cybe
 r operations.\n\n   In this discussion\, we will explore the nature of dis
 tributed\n   industrial asset operation and the opportunities this present
 s for\n   adversaries to infiltrate and potentially disrupt critical\n   i
 nfrastructure operations. To make this point\, we will review examples\n  
  of adversary activity\, from the 2022 ViaSat incident through\n   histori
 cal pipeline intrusions (NOT Colonial!)\, showing how\n   adversaries inte
 ntionally or inadvertently prey on brittle\n   communication links for ind
 ustrial disruption. We will conclude with a\n   discussion of how these ri
 sks can be mitigated in a way that is\n   sensible and economical\, becaus
 e wind farm operators won't lay their\n   own dedicated fiber anytime soon
