SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training and education, has announced the latest SANS ICS Cybersecurity Field Manual Volume 3, a continuation from Volumes 1 and 2, providing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) cybersecurity professionals and ICS risk managers with more advanced insights into industrial control system specific incident response, risk-based ICS vulnerability management, ICS defender skillsets, team management, and ICS security tools and protocols to defend these systems.
The first two volumes, released in 2022 and 2023, offered a comprehensive overview of ICS security, and the third volume provides more detailed, actionable guidance in the areas of active incident response, environment and safety concerns, vulnerability management and patching, threat detection, system design, network architecture, and effective risk management. Volume 3 also shares the security skillset recipe for the best ICS security team defenders.
"The SANS ICS Cybersecurity Field Manual series is an essential tool for all Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security professionals," said ICS expert, field manual author, and Certified SANS Instructor, Dean Parsons, "and it should find a home on the desk of every control system operator, critical infrastructure cyber defender, and ICS/OT risk manager, in all industrial control system sectors globally. Security professionals must up defenses and staff skillsets to meet the evolving threats, so the ICS Cybersecurity Field Manual should be a necessity in the ICS Incident Response jump bag."
SANS will be hosting a webcast featuring Parsons to discuss the new edition of the manual on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 10:00 AM EDT. Attendees will learn about the latest manual edition and gain insights on how to best protect ICS systems.

Illumio, Inc., the Zero Trust Segmentation company, today launched the Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation ROI Calculator, a self-service tool that quantifies what an organization’s return on investment (ROI) on Illumio’s Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) platform would be, bringing more clarity into their decision-making process.
In a difficult economy, organizations need to understand and be able to show the impact of every dollar they spend, and they need solutions that deliver a reliable return on investment. By answering a few simple questions related to their specific business environment, respondents will receive a written assessment of the quantitative impact Illumio ZTS would have on their organization, which will arm decision makers with data to support further investment in cybersecurity initiatives that reduce risk and increase resilience to breaches.
Illumio recently commissioned a Total Economic ImpactTM of Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) study from Forrester Consulting, who interviewed Forrester analysts, Illumio stakeholders, and Illumio customers from organizations of varying sizes and industries to inform their findings. The study found that Illumio delivered a total benefit of $10.2 million over three years and paid for itself in six months for a composite organization. Additionally, over three years Illumio ZTS:
Reduced a cyberattack’s blast radius by 66 percent by restricting lateral movement, which saved $1.8 million via decreased overall risk exposure.
Drove $3 million in savings via tool consolidation and reduced firewall costs.
Saved $3.8 million by limiting unplanned downtime.
Increased InfoSec’s operational efficiency by $1.6 million by reducing the time and effort needed to implement security policy.
Delivered 111 percent return on investment.
“The security industry is moving from the prevention and detection eras to the breach containment era to minimize the impact of breaches on the broader organization,” said PJ Kirner, CTO and co-founder at Illumio. “With a challenging economy, CFOs and boards are asking security teams to quantify the return on their investments. With this ROI calculator, leaders can validate the impact ZTS would have on their specific organization, accelerating the implementation of core security strategies that augment prevention and detection technologies to reduce risk and increase resilience to breaches more quickly.”
To measure the impact Illumio ZTS could have on your organization, use the Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation ROI Calculator. Learn more about The Forrester Total Economic ImpactTM of Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation here.

Global security leader Forcepoint today extended the depth and breadth of its Data-first SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) offering with the launch of Forcepoint Data Security Everywhere. Forcepoint is simplifying enterprise DLP management across cloud, web and private apps and streamlining compliance wherever hybrid workers store, access and use confidential information.
The company is also bringing to market Forcepoint ONE Insights that enables users to quickly visualize and quantify the financial value of security efficacy delivered by Forcepoint solutions. Forcepoint ONE Insights’ visualization console presents key performance indicators such as adoption, data and threat protection, policy violations, performance, and risk.
“Data isn’t the new oil; it is the new air. Literally everything runs on data today and our lives and livelihoods depend on it. Before today, securing data required a mishmash of point solutions. Forcepoint is taking the lead in solving this problem with Forcepoint Data Security Everywhere,” said Manny Rivelo, CEO of Forcepoint. “We’re delivering enterprise-wide data security plus the power and flexibility of Forcepoint ONE SSE to keep data safe at all times, even after it is accessed. Comprehensive data security is a critical capability within our Data-first SASE solution, providing the visibility and control organizations need to protect their data and simplify Zero Trust security.”
In two years, humanity's collective data will reach 175 billion terabytes -- the number 175 followed by 21 zeros. This data includes everything that powers business and consumers’ day-to-day lives. It is accessed and used by hybrid workforces on corporate endpoints and personal devices such as phones and tablets to do their jobs. Forcepoint Data Security Everywhere is a direct response to the reality that business productivity depends upon people having the ability to safely and efficiently use data anywhere.
By connecting Forcepoint Enterprise DLP to the Forcepoint ONE Security Service Edge (SSE) platform, customers can extend a new or existing enterprise DLP policy, including its advanced classifiers, data fingerprinting, and enforcement settings, to the web and cloud. A unified security policy from Forcepoint protects sensitive data across all channels, including endpoints, websites, cloud services, networks, email and private apps. Forcepoint’s data-first approach goes far beyond basic data protection that is often built into SASE solutions. By classifying data and organizing it into different groups rather than relying on hardcoded patterns, Forcepoint data security policies can be written once and enforced everywhere to automatically handle new instances and types of sensitive data. This end-to-end enforcement is ideal for organizations with cloud-based applications or distributed workforces.
Key Benefits of Enforcing Data Security Everywhere
Adds Forcepoint ONE SSE channels to Forcepoint Enterprise DLP, protecting data across any website, cloud application, and web-based private applications.
Applies new or existing DLP policies across CASB, SWG, and ZTNA channels.
Simplifies DLP management by leveraging over 1,600 out-of-the-box classifiers, policies and templates enabling granular enforcement for files.
Gives security operations center (SOC) and IT teams complete incident reporting and forensic information from a single management console.
Forcepoint Data Security Everywhere is immediately available direct from Forcepoint and through the company’s global network of channel partners.
AI-powered Data Visualization with Forcepoint ONE Insights
Further extending the value-added capabilities of Forcepoint ONE, in late Q2 2023 the company will unveil Forcepoint ONE Insights, formerly code-named Symphony, which provides economic value and advanced security analytics for real-time insights into an organization's security status.
Forcepoint ONE Insights technology, included with all Forcepoint ONE subscriptions, uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyze security data from multiple sources, such as network traffic, endpoint devices, and cloud applications. Using the at-a-glance visualization, security teams can identify potential threats more quickly, reducing the risk of data breaches. They can also see in real-time dashboards showing the economic value of their use of Forcepoint ONE.
Meet Forcepoint Experts at RSA 2023
During the week of RSA, April 25-27, the company will provide hands-on opportunities with Forcepoint Data Security Everywhere and Forcepoint ONE Insights at the Forcepoint Experience Center on the fourth floor of the St. Regis San Francisco. Organizations that want to learn more and get demos can request a meeting.
