Webinar this Thursday, December 7th at 11:00 a.m. Eastern:

Defending Against Attackers Who Use AI as a Weapon


Join Carahsoft, Fend, and Industrial Defender for this free webinar and learn how to protect operational technology (OT) from cyberattack. Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure are on the rise, from critical facilities serving the US Army and hydropower plants run by the Tennessee Valley Authority to water utilities operated by local governments. Thankfully you can not only detect threats on your network and equipment, you can physically block those attacks in the first place.

In this webinar, attendees will learn about:

  • Comprehensive threat detection to identify potential risks promptly
  • Proactive attack prevention to physically block cyber attacks before they can compromise your critical infrastructure 
  • Enhancing overall operational efficiency while building resilience against cyber threats 

 

Learn from industry experts at Fend Inc. and Industrial Defender how you can secure your assets against both insider threats and outside attackers in a cost-effective way.

Recent cyberattacks on water utilities in Pennsylvania, Texas, and elsewhere highlight the challenges these operators face. Motivations range from nation-state actors seeking to do harm to criminals looking to hold industrial victims for ransom. Data diodes physically block cyberattacks on utility assets and are recommended by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the WaterISAC.


Fend protects the water and wastewater infrastructure that serves millions of customers with one-way data diodes, cloud-based analytics, and other services.
