ICS VILLAGE

BSidesNOLA brought the cyber swamp energy, and ICS Village was glad to be part of it. We had a great day talking about industrial cybersecurity, walking attendees through hands-on ICS/OT engagement, and helping more folks get up close with the systems that keep critical infrastructure running. Huge thanks to BSidesNOLA for having us — and to everyone who stopped by, asked smart questions, tried the hands-on activities, and brought their curiosity. Until next time, New Orleans 🐺🏭⚡ #BSidesNOLA #IndustrialCybersecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #OTSecurity
