MITRE released its new ATT&CK for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) as a community resource on the tactics and techniques of ICS threats and a common lexicon for the community. This framework is an important tool in developing an ICS cybersecurity program and threat detection strategy. Dragos contributed significantly to the framework with our threat intelligence on the 11 different ICS specific threats tracked. In this presentation, the Dragos team will conduct a technical demonstration of an ICS cyber attack from both the attacker and defender perspective. The attacker perspective will be orchestrated by a member of Dragos' red team and the defender perspective will be done leveraging the Dragos Platform.
Attendees will experience:
-Detailed understanding of ICS ATT&CK and how to leverage it
-Use-cases for threat detection and response scenarios
-Technical demonstration of the Dragos Platform
-Technical demonstration of an attack on an ICS range

Austin was nominated by Shell for his ICS Cybersecurity program contributions for the SANS Cybersecurity Difference Maker 2015 Award and won. He is also the president of San Diego Chapter for Control System Cybersecurity Association International (CS2AI) and founder of the Calgary, Alberta chapter.
Robert M. Lee
Rob is a recognized pioneer in the industrial security incident response and threat intelligence community. He started in security as a U.S. Air Force Cyber Warfare Operations Officer tasked to the National Security Agency where he built a first-of-its-kind mission identifying and analyzing national threats to industrial infrastructure. He went on to build the industrial community’s first dedicated monitoring and incident response class at the SANS Institute (ICS515) and the industry recognized cyber threat intelligence course (FOR578).
Forbes named Robert to its 30 under 30 (2016) list as one of the “brightest entrepreneurs, breakout talents, and change agents” in Enterprise Technology. He is a business leader but also technical practitioner. Robert helped lead the investigation into the 2015 cyber attack on Ukraine’s power grid, he and his team at Dragos helped identify and analyze the CRASHOVERRIDE malware that attacked Ukraine’s grid in 2016 and the TRISIS malware deployed against an industrial safety system in the Middle East in 2017.
