2019 ICS Cyber Security Conference | USA

Smart sensors enable manufacturers and other operators to view and analyze real-time machine performance. By connecting sensor data to centralized monitoring platforms, engineers can optimize operation and perform predictive maintenance through advance notice of potential problems or anomalies. Unfortunately, as the number of cyber-attacks on ICS and related OT systems continues to increase, these connected sensors also represent possible cyber threat vectors into the plant and potentially into the machines themselves. In this session we'll discuss the various technologies, architectures, and best practices to secure smart sensors in industrial machines without compromising on the benefits of connected technologies within ICS.
