— Does your organization contract with the U.S. Government?
On November 4, 2021, the U.S. Department of Defense published a proposed updates to its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) — CMMC 2.0.

Evolving Your ICS Security Program to Detect, Respond and Stress Test for Modern Adversaries

This webinar covers leveraging existing technology to gain security visibility, building an effective OT security monitoring capability, leveraging security monitoring to enhance ICS environment health and applying tips to safely test your OT security environment.
