The Need for Continuous Monitoring of OT Networks

February 13, 2019

In recent years there have been numerous events of different threat severity, involving critical and industrial infrastructure. Famous incident names like “Wannacry” ,“Havex” and “Triton” are just a few and represent merely the tip of the iceberg. Some attacks on OT infrastructure are “industry-specific” and even “organizational-specific” targeting specific industrial sectors, or specific vendor equipment models. But others are “global,” sometimes targeting IT-typical infrastructure, and still, hit many industrial networks which - even if not been main targets of the attack - become victims of it.

PACTF

PACTF charges teams of 1–5 to hack, decrypt, and do whatever it takes to solve increasingly challenging security puzzles. Our mission? Make cyber-security as fun—and educational—as possible. Unlike traditional learning approaches, PACTF has students learn by having them break vulnerable systems themselves. Teams face carefully designed problems, and on successfully execution of an attack, teams can submit proof called ‘flags’ to our website for feedback, fun and points.
