Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PP133: An Inside Look at SRX Firewall Threat Prevention Capabilities (Sponsored)
Q: What about capabilities to protect OT or IoT environments? Is that functionality within SRX?
He says ATP Cloud provides IoT and OT security by identifying devices and applying policies to restrict their communications and access to sensitive networks or cloud services.
PP133: An Inside Look at SRX Firewall Threat Prevention Capabilities (Sponsored)
Q: Can the firewall also be used to spot sort of shadow AI or misuse of approved AI tools within an organization?
Khandawal says SRX can profile AI applications, apply policies to block unsanctioned applications, allow sanctioned ones, and monitor unknown applications.
PP132: What the Death Star Can Teach Us About OT Security
Q: What are some of the takeaways from your talk?
Burns says teams should regularly reassess accepted risks and assumptions, monitor what is actually on their networks, and account for lingering access and weaknesses that may otherwise go unnoticed.
PP132: What the Death Star Can Teach Us About OT Security
Q: How does threat hunting or thrunting work in an OT environment?
Burns says Dragos gathers data passively through mirrored ports or taps, primarily hunting through network traffic rather than actively scanning sensitive systems.
PP131: Making Security Awareness Training Actually Effective; Plus, How IT and OT Overlaps
Q: Where do you draw the line between IoT and OT, personally?
Polay describes OT as a system involving an operator-facing workstation, a controller, and instrumentation working together. A connected thermostat is an IoT device, while an industrial sensor supporting a plant process is an industrial IoT device.
