Organizations have traditionally focused cybersecurity initiatives on enterprise IT infrastructure and systems. Yet, non-traditional, legacy systems responsible for controlling building technology, including HVAC, elevators, metering, lighting and parking systems introduce significant risk to sensitive data, brand reputation, and even health and safety. In spite of becoming more connected to corporate networks, Operational Technology (OT), is often overlooked as a vulnerability point and large organizations often struggle with understanding how to effectively manage the security around these systems.DHG has teamed up with Intelligent Buildings to provide an overview of how operational technology and building automation systems work, and how they can be exploited to compromise a company. DHG and Intelligent Buildings have developed a framework and approach for managing operational technology. This session will teach you how to identify and assess your risks, prepare a gap analysis and move toward remediation. Addressing the Cybersecurity Talent Gap at Fever Pitch LevelsJohn Opala N/AN/AThe growing number and size of data breaches indicates that threats are outpacing security measures taken by organizations and lack of cybersecurity workforce to effectively thwart such attacks. Cybersecurity threats and exploits are growing faster at a rate of 24 percent since 2016 which is greater than the capacity of most organizations security teams. At this rate, the global shortfall of cybersecurity professionals is expected to reach 3.5 million by 2022. The impact of such resource deficiency is realized when on average only 50 percent of applicants for cybersecurity positions are qualified for the jobs. Also, more than half or 53 percent of organizations face delays for as long as six months to find and hire qualified cybersecurity candidates. Since the responsibility for keeping data breaches from doing serious damage falls on either internal staff or offshored managed security service providers it is necessary to re-think how colleges prepare the work force for cyber security roles, recruiters build a bench of qualified resources and human resources approach compensation for qualified resources.
