In June at Ignite \u201817 Security Conference, we hosted for the first time a new ICS-specific technical workshop called the Industrial Cybersecurity Hands-on Workshop or \"ICS HoW\" for short. This was provided as a free, guided class which taught students how to use our platform to secure their industrial automation environment through a series of hands-on exercises in a fully virtualized ICS environment. The feedback we received was very positive as it gave both IT and OT cybersecurity practitioners a chance to really understand (through implementation) the capabilities of the platform in different ICS-specific use case lab exercises.<\/p>\n
Today we are happy to announce the immediate availability of the ICS HoW as a customer workshop event which can be run as a Palo Alto Networks-hosted event or even at a customer site. We see the awareness and interest for ICS cybersecurity continue to increase so we are pleased to help the industry address this pent-up demand for knowledge.<\/p>\n
The current ICS HoW release is focused on how to achieve better ICS-specific visibility, access control and threat prevention via App-ID, User-ID and Content-ID. Future updates are planned to include other use cases and capabilities of our next-generation security platform. In addition to great learning, students also have an opportunity to network with their IT\/OT colleagues, industry peers and other ICS cybersecurity experts to learn about different security use cases and best practices.<\/p>\n
You can learn more about ICS HoW and request more information on how to participate in one of our events by going to the ICS HoW<\/a> page or by contacting your Palo Alto Networks sales representative.<\/p>\n
