Introduction & Welcome Address by the Chief Technical Officer and Programme Chair

The management of the information and communication infrastructure is a complex problem that we at Smart Com have tackled with new approaches and new technologies. We designed a modular, event-based platform with a common data bus which provides flexibility and scalability that other automation tools cannot achieve. Currently, this platform enables the initial configuration and upgrade of devices, which provides better quality of services. New modules are being developed that will enable the automatic capture of the communication infrastructure and performance of repetitive tasks, thus relieving system administrators in your environment.

SIEM and sometimes EDR (Endpoint Detection ad Response) are used to analyze security events. They are capable of collecting individual alarms, but do not have a complete picture of the attack. XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is able to capture and monitor all events and activities across the entire IT stack including endpoint, network and cloud providing broader perspective. In the relationship to the MITRE ATT&CK framework security engineers and analysts can respond faster and more accurately.

Other speaking presentations from Smart Com and invited experts were prerecorded and available in advance.
Nowadays, companies that want to reduce information security risks, quickly become to the point where they do not know how to react, especially in more complex situations. It mostly depends on which level of the maturity model company is, on technologies and processes they implement and lastly on expert knowledge employees possess. Presentation will cover cyber security managed services which Smart Com as a security partner can provide.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the threat-aware network for the cloud era. As the security and the network converge and applications move to the cloud, it’s critical for IT teams to use all connection points on the network to protect against attacks, while providing quick access to services from anywhere. During the session we will discuss Juniper vision and the security portfolio evolution related to SASE and on-premises scenarios.
Sławomir Karaś
The adoption of cloud-based technology and services is rapidly growing, bringing both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include flexibility, reducing costs, scalability and accessibility. On the other side disadvantages include network dependence, server location and most important security of cloud services, especially in terms of data protection. For that reason rapid detection and prevention of incidents are crucial in cloud environments.

The importance of protecting communication in critical infrastructure it has to move onto the next level. Hackers with social engineering tactics or other attack vectors could take control over the most critical processes, which are still very vulnerable due to poor cyber security. The speaker will present an example of taking control of the MODBUS and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols, and how to protect critical infrastructure against such attacks.

As in IT networks, it is also necessary to ensure seamless, safe and flexible operation of all services in ICS networks in critical infrastructure. The growing number of connected devices in ICS environments, which need to communication to various systems, has to be properly supported by ICT network. Fabric-based networks are a great choice as they provide functionalities that are becoming indispensable in ICS environments. In terms of security, flexibility and management, fabric networks are becoming the standard in critical infrastructure as well.

IT (business environment) and OT (operational environments) convergence brings new security risks, especially as some industrial control systems include legacy and unpatched systems and outdated devices that are highly vulnerable to modern security threats. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen security mechanisms before consolidating industrial and business processes. In other case failure of individual components or the entire industrial environment can have disastrous results at critical infrastructure organizations.

Location information has become an essential part of the new information services. Gartner predicts rapid growth for Indoor Location Services industry. Among three most used 'Indoor Location Services' based on known location information – Asset visibility, Wayfinding and User Engagement, I think final one is the most innovative. The majority technology systems require 'beacon' device to provide 'Indoor Location Services'. If you come close to a 'beacon' with a smartphone which has the appropriate application activated, it can provide you with the latest information related to a specific location for example inside an airport, hospital, shops... Innovative technological solutions enable the installation of Wi-Fi systems that do not require a 'beacon' to offer 'User Engagement' services. How do they achieve this? You will find the answer at this presentation.

The presentation explains how the Apstra software can be used in datacenter environments to provide an intent-based layer for the EVPN-based deployment.
