Listen in on Part II of our Incident Response for ICS webinar series, where we explore the differences between incident response for OT environments vs IT environments.

In this webinar, Vernon McCandlish, Principal Industrial Incident Responder and Hussain Virani, Senior Industrial Incident Responder, outlines what incident command looks like across the globe, and dives into an in-depth discussion on exactly what’s different about incident response in OT environments, and why an ICS incident response plan is a critical step for OT cybersecurity preparedness.
