From OSINT to Production Floor: How threat actors can infiltrate your OT operations without you even knowing with Claudiu Chelaru, mnemonic This presentation outlines a purple teaming exercise with an industrial client, focusing on IT-OT security challenges. OSINT uncovered risks like social engineering and password spraying, while vulnerabilities in IT-DMZ systems, including remote access points, were exploited to gain control and access sensitive data. Lateral movement into Enterprise IT exposed critical credentials, and further exploration into OT systems revealed vulnerabilities, such as manipulating operations via MODBUS/TCP, emphasizing the need for stronger security measures. |

The OT Attack Surface in the Netherlands and Beyond with Piotr Kijewski, The Shadowserver Foundation This talk will provide an overview (statistics, trends) of the OT attack surface in the Netherlands and beyond. This will be based on the data Shadowserver collects in its daily global scan activity as well as attacks observed against OT devices in its Global Honeypot Sensor Network deployments. |
15:00-15:50 |
Live incident response exercise with Erlend Andreas Gjære, Secure Practice This interactive presentation explores the inverse relationship between an organisation's preparedness and the impact of severe cybersecurity incidents. Attendees will engage in a dynamic, real-life-inspired scenario that unfolds through SMS, phone calls, emails, and websites, requiring critical decision-making at every step. The session aims to foster better conversations and decisions by encouraging individual and collaborative problem-solving in a safe, anonymous environment. |
