| 5/27/26 | ![]() Interview With Acting CISA Director Nick Andersen | Dale Peterson interviews acting CISA Director Nick Andersen. They briefly begin with the impact of the personnel changes at CISA, both at the leadership level and widespread exodus of anyone involved in OT. What are the plans for the rebuild of OT capabilities. The bulk of the discussion is on the need, implementation, and metrics related to CISA's ruthless prioritization of efforts and resources. What CISA and US critical infrastructure must do, and what they won't have the resources to do. | — | ||||||

| 12/6/23 | ![]() CISA Attack Surface Scanning Service | Dale is joined by Steve Pozza, CISA Section Chief of Operational Resilience, and Tom Millar, CISA Branch Chief of Resilience, to discuss some of CISA's security services for asset owners. They discuss: The Internet accessible attack surface enumeration and vulnerability scanning surface. Asset owners can buy products or services to do this. Why is the government doing this? What CISA is doing with this attack surface data? How is CISA measuring the success of this service offering? Other broadly available services and tools, the cybersecurity performance goals (CPG assessment) ~500 done in 2023 (and their thinking about self-assessments), Malcom traffic analysis tool, and a couple of other tools.

| 11/29/23 | ![]() Engineering-Grade OT Security with Andrew Ginter | Andrew Ginter published his third book this year: Engineering-Grade OT Security. Dale interviews Andrew on the book including: Who was the target reader that Andrew wrote the book for? Do (should) professional engineers lose their licenses for poor and dangerous cybersecurity design and deployments? The use of the term engineering grade, and how he defines it. Unhackable protection and safety controls as a major part of engineering grade. Unidirectional (one-way) network devices as the only security control listed as engineering grade. Is one-way from the enterprise network to the OT network engineering grade? Given the ICSSTRIVE/Waterfall report that 75% of all cyber incidents affecting operations are due to ransomware on IT, should asset owners prioritize address this issue or engineering grade security first? What is keeping Andrew working rather than retiring Links Complete this form to get a free copy of the book | — | ||||||
| 11/15/23 | ![]() Asset Inventory, Lawyers, and AI | This week is a Dale Peterson solosode. Updates and Announcements Dale provides updates about S4x24 ticket sales and announces the Women In ICS Security program and sponsor package. Main Topics Asset Inventory in Cybersecurity: Dale challenges the common security mantra "You can't protect what you don't know," using examples from both physical and cyber domains. He notes many of the comments on this week's article missed the main point, and he gives hints on the next two asset inventory articles. Legal and Regulatory Issues in Cybersecurity: Dale emphasizes the importance of domain expertise whether it be cybersecurity or the legal profession. He previews upcoming keynote interviews with legal experts and advises cybersecurity professionals against making legal analyses without proper expertise. Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Dale reveals that most AI submissions for S4 were broad and hand wavy. This isn't wrong, but most have heard this info by now. He then discusses the need for focusing on specific, real-world applications of AI and stresses the importance of measurable improvements in this age of experimentation. | — | ||||||

| 11/1/23 | ![]() Kelly Shortridge - Security Chaos Engineering in ICS | Kelly joins Dale to discuss her new book Security Chaos Engineering: Sustaining Resilience in Software and Systems. Kelly points out the second part of the title is the most descriptive, and she is not a big fan of the Chaos term that has taken hold. They discuss: A quick description of Security Chaos Engineering Is there similarity or overlap with the CCE or CIE approach? The value of decision trees Her view of checklists of security controls like CISA's CPG Lesson 1 - "Start in Nonproduction environments" The experiment / scientific method approach and how it can start small The Danger Zone: tight coupling and complex interactions How should ICS use Chaos Engineering | — | ||||||
| 10/25/23 | ![]() IACS System Testing and Assessment Rating (STAR) Methodology with Don Weber | Don Weber joins Dale Peterson to describe his IACS STAR Methodology to score the risk of a vulnerability to an ICS (or IACS in 62443-speak). It is a modification of the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology. Don has modified some of the 16-factors to create IACS STAR. The methodology and code is available on GitHub and a calculator is available on line. Don and Dale discuss: What Don likes about the OWASP Risk Rating Potential issues with putting numbers to SME judgment Differences between IACS STAR and the OWASP Risk Rating The weighting of the 16 factors The future of IACS STAR Links Slides Discussed In The Show: https://dale-peterson.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IACS-STAR.pdf IACS STAR GitHub Repo: https://github.com/cutaway-security/IACS_STAR_Methodology IACS STAR Calculator: https://iacs-star-calculator.com/iacs_star_calculator.html Cutaway Security Website: https://www.cutawaysecurity.com ICS-Patch Decision Tree: https://dale-peterson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ICS-Patch-0_1.pdf | — | ||||||
