Meet the first Kaspersky Industrial Cybersecurity Conference in the Asia-Pacific region

The Kaspersky Industrial Cybersecurity Conference is a global event in the field of industrial cybersecurity that provides unique overviews of the threat landscape for industrial enterprises and discusses the possible ways to build reliable protection for IT&OT infrastructure. For over a decade, this conference has brought together hundreds of leading information security experts, researchers, industrial automation suppliers, system integrators and customers from more than 20 countries.

In addition to the main event, which traditionally takes place in Sochi, Russia, this year Kaspersky will host its first Asia-Pacific conference in Bangkok, Thailand. The event will address the threats, vulnerabilities and other challenges affecting industrial control systems and the industrial market in Asia-Pacific which has been undergoing rapid digital transformation in its operational technologies and critical infrastructure in recent years.

The conference’s program will delve into the latest threats and vulnerabilities discovered in automated process control systems, highlighting promising technologies and complex cybersecurity protection for IT-OT converged infrastructure. Other key topics to be explored include:

• A deep dive into the industrial automation threat landscape;
• Insights from SCADA penetration testers: Why the IT approach fails in OT;
• OT Vulnerability Research: Why open-source vulnerability databases don’t work with ICS;
• Taking a risk-based approach to OT security: Major factors in assessing the likelihood and impact of potential cyberattacks.

Kaspersky will also showcase its product portfolio for industrial cybersecurity, including Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity (KICS), a native XDR Platform for industrial enterprises and Kaspersky ICS MDR, a service that offers round-the-clock managed protection against cyberthreats and sophisticated attacks targeting OT and critical infrastructure. We will also share valuable knowledge and insights from Kaspersky ICS CERT, an expertise center that coordinates the efforts of industrial automation system vendors and industrial facility owners and brings together their knowledge and experience.

Although the offline feature is available only for key industrial market players in the Asia Pacific region, the business program will be broadcast online, providing all other interested parties with the opportunity to participate in the conference. You can register for the online session via the following link. During the live broadcast you will be able to ask questions to the experts taking part in the conference.

"Today, industrial security requires more attention than ever: the probability of severe consequences of attacks is increasing due to many factors, and the number of unresolved systemic problems is not decreasing. The Kaspersky Industrial Cybersecurity Conference is an excellent opportunity to discuss current threats and advanced methods of cyber protection. We are looking forward to meeting our partners, customers, and cybersecurity researchers at this conference to share insights and knowledge with them and extend this expertise to all the interested parties," says Andrey Strelkov, Head of the Industrial Cybersecurity Product line at Kaspersky.

“We are thrilled to invite industrial companies to join us at the Kaspersky Asia-Pacific Industrial Cybersecurity Conference to forge cyber resilience, work together to create partnerships, and collaborate on building a future that lasts. With participants from around the world, we will do our best to highlight the most important issues in the industrial sector and discover the best approaches to securing critical infrastructure, cyber-physical systems and operational technologies,” states Adrian Hia, Managing Director at Kaspersky APAC.
