Implementing ICS/OT cybersecurity in greenfield projects should be easier than existing brownfield projects. However, greenfield projects present their own challenges to implementing ICS/OT cyber security, especially if not properly planned. Chris will present challenges and lessons learned implementing ICS/OT cybersecurity on multiple large and complex offshore greenfield projects.
Attendees will gain a better understanding of the unique challenges faced implementing ICS/OT cybersecurity on capital projects.
