Agenda At-A-Glance

Thursday, October 26, 2023

11:00 AM	Welcome Remarks Blake Benson, ABS Group
11:15 AM	Cyber Threat Brief As adversaries expand their capability and intent to attack Operational Technology (OT) systems, the threat to the MTS grows. Awareness of the tactics attackers are employing against the MTS can help organizations better prepare to defend their operations. Industry leaders in cyber threat intelligence will discuss the emerging threats that should be top of mind. Liz Martin, Dragos Kyle Hartner, ABS Group
12:15 PM	Lunch Break
12:45 PM	Panel Discussion: Maritime Perspectives in Evolving Policies and Regulations Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly integrated into MTS regulatory frameworks. MTSA, IMO Resolution MSC.428(98) and even conditions of class like IACS UR E26/27, all include cybersecurity as an important factor. In this changing environment, simply knowing what regulations your organization needs to comply with can be a challenge. This panel will highlight some of these regulations and how they are currently changing. Moderator: Ret. RADM Joe Servidio, J A Servidio Panelist: Michael DeVolld, Royal Caribbean Group Panelist: Nick Parham, U.S. Coast Guard Panelist: Michael Hensley, ABS
1:30 PM	Working Groups - Breakout Discussions Working Group Option 1: Shoreside Cyber Risks and Solutions The recent ransomware attack on the Port of Nagoya has confirmed that cyber systems lie at the heart of well-functioning ports and shoreside facilities. In this breakout session we will cover common vulnerabilities in these systems and recommend controls to help improve your facility’s cybersecurity posture. Liz Martin, Dragos Blake Benson, ABS Group Working Group Option 2: Shipside Cyber Risks and Solutions Ships are no longer just electromechanical machines controlled by physical controls and circuitry, but rather complex cyber-physical systems. Understanding the risks these systems face and the management and technical solutions to help mitigate these risks can be a challenge. This breakout session will cover the common vulnerabilities we see in our cybersecurity assessments of ships and recommend controls to help improve your ship’s cybersecurity posture. Carmen Ianello, U.S. Navy Cliff Neve, MAD Security Brittany Bomgardner, ABS Group Austin Schall, ABS Group
