Nation State Attacks on Critical Infrastructure – Assess, Understand, Protect
Putting a cellular router on SCADA, PLCs, or HMIs considerably improves your efficiency and allows you to remotely access these interfaces – it also considerably increases your risk. Systems become scannable and easily accessed by anyone who stumbles across them.
It is easier than ever for threat actors to gather detailed information about you and your water systems using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). Widely available tools like Shodan.io can provide these threat actors with a huge list of critical infrastructure systems that are publicly exposed without proper access controls like single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and privileged access management.
More and more incidents seem to be popping up. The Muleshoe, Texas and Aliquippa, Pennsylvania incidents involved hackers gaining unauthorized access to computer systems controlling water infrastructure operations, causing a water tank overflow in Muleshoe and forcing Aliquippa to switch to manual operations. This session will teach you how to protect your water infrastructure with Agilicus AnyX, taking advantage of multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and privileged access.

Webinar Highlights
Remotely accessing industrial control systems such as SCADA and HMIs can present a number of risks. Particularly when using a port forward or jumpbox without including proper access controls.
The situation gets compounded when your vendors are accessing your systems to perform troubleshooting and maintenance.
After attending this webinar, without changing how you do business, without rethinking the world, without commissioning an IT steering committee to study – you’ll understand how to:
- Assess and Detect Vulnerabilities: Spot the weaknesses in your system using widely available tools like Shodan and nmap
- Implement Secure Connectivity for Partners: Deploy multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, least privilege access, and detailed audit trails to lock down access. No new credentials, no shared passwords.
- Enable Single Sign-On from Multiple Identity Providers Simplify: the administrative overhead required to support all your users. Enable secure access for water systems,including external vendors, using their existing email, even on unmanaged devices. Audit per user, not per company.
- Eliminate Risk and Strengthen Cybersecurity: Micro-segment access down to the device level, restricting access to only those that need it to protect your systems and resources. Reduce your attack surface and future-proof your infrastructure.
