Abstract

Content-update based endpoint protection has become the forefront of user device protection. Though effective, it is impractical for OT/ICS assets that require defenses against bespoke malware, resource limitations, and no dependence on an internet connection. Using behavioral engines and application containment, we can achieve full zero-day protection against advanced adversaries.

• Securing Industrial Assets with an OS (windows, linux, qnx, etc.)
• Why is Application Whitelisting a false sense of security?
• How is behavioral-based protection perfect for fixed-function devices
