The ICS Detection Challenge at S4x18

Nov 14, 2017

This month we announced the ICS Detection Challenge, that will take place at S4x18. Phase I will test the solutions ability to identify and document the ICS, and Phase II will test the solutions ability to detect cyber threats. The contestants will be given anonymized packet captures from an actual ICS.

In this podcast I speak with Eric Byres, who is helping me put together the challenge along with John Cusimano of aeSolutions. We talk about

• the 5 contestants and those that have declined to participate
• what we hope the Challenge will show and accomplish
• the scoring
• the delivery of the packets
• requests for help
• and more

This is a shorter, 20 minute podcast that occurred with the mobile podcast rig at API in Houston last week.
