Singapore ICS Cyber Security Conference

Summary: In this talk, Jeff Melrose will present the latest drone threat intelligence for plant land and maritime port industrial site networks. 

With new Drone technologies appearing in the consumer space daily Industrial Site operators are being forced to rethink their most fundamental assumptions about Industrial Sites and Cyber-Physical security. Both Land and Maritime Industrial targets are vulnerable to this new emerging threat. This presentation will cover Electronic Threats, Electronic Defensive measures, Recent Electronic jamming incidents, Latest Drone Threats and capabilities, recent port facility incidents, and Electronic Attack and surveillance with Drones as delivery platform. The presentation will include two drone attack scenarios with video [potentially live - if liability allows] demonstrations of drone attack capabilities on an industrial wireless flowmeter. 

Attendees will gain the following:

• A new appreciation for the terrifying capabilities now available in hobby drones.
• A better understanding how drones can now be the bridge that Hacktivists use to make attacks that were only possible in close proximity before.
• Realization that large scale EW attacks to Industrial system that used to be possible with military grade equipment are now possible with hobby components.
• An understanding of what a defensive security person must consider when risk evaluating the threats to industrial wireless systems.
• A new appreciation for Maritime threats that Drones represent including information of actual incidents.
