BSidesLV 2023: Shining a Light into the Security Blackhole of IoT and OT

Watch the replay of the "Shining a light into the security blackhole of IoT and OT" presentation at BSides LV by Huxley Barbee as he explores the unique challenges that IoT and OT pose for network scanning and provides solutions for effectively addressing these challenges.

Huxley covers identifying IoT and OT devices on a network, understanding the context of vulnerabilities associated with these devices, and implementing appropriate security controls to mitigate these risks while ensuring the safety and availability of these systems.

Finally, Huxley dives into best practices and tools for IoT and OT network scanning, such as using automated asset inventory, performing regular vulnerability assessments, and testing the changes in a controlled environment before implementing them. Ultimately, this presentation aims to equip blue teams with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively protect their organizations’ networks in the IoT and OT era while ensuring these systems’ safety and availability.
