Preventing Your Physical Access Control System from Being Used Against You - SANS ICS Summit 2019
Presenter: Valerie Thomas, Executive Security Consultant, Securicon
In the world of ICS, physical access is king. Once physical access is gained to even a portion of the environment, attackers are able to bypass many network and endpoint protections. To defend against this threat, sophisticated physical access control systems are installed, but are often misconfigured and not used to their full potential. Even worse, some misconfigurations can turn a multi-million-dollar physical access control implementation into an attacker's best friend; allowing them to essentially become invisible to traditional detection methods. This session will provide the audience with a foundational understanding of a traditional physical security environment, demonstration of trending attacks, examples of common misconfigurations, and a roadmap to locking down deployed implementations.
