Overview

In this webinar, Tiago Dias talks about the expanding and evolving threat of cyber-attack and how this evolving threat is causing risk losses within industrial settings.

Can a cyber-attack cause physical damage?

• Revoked privileges for the building
• Fire-monitoring and suppression systems
• Lift access controls (suppression/overridden)
• Manufacturing environments

- Evolving Risk

• Physical inherent risks due to technology
• Physical damage at a premium
• Risks, losses, and aggregation
• Kinetic Cyber and Killware

Learning objectives:

• Large scale cyber-attacks that have caused physical damage
• Identifying vulnerabilities in systems used to design materials and buildings
• Evolving risks
