Presentation Topic: What Lessons Should Industrial Asset Operators Learn from the CrowdStrike Failure?
On July 19, 2024, a faulty patch auto-deployed across Windows IT systems by CrowdStrike led to global outages, delays, and shutdowns. This incident offers significant lessons for industrial operators and cybersecurity professionals regarding cyber resilience, disaster recovery, vulnerability management, and infrastructure isolation.
Join us as the founders of Fortress Labs, in partnership with TAQUEIN AUTOMATION, explore these lessons and discuss the implications for industrial organizations. The presentation will be followed by an engaging Q&A session.
Presented by: Ben Simon (CEO) and Leor Fishman (CTO) of Fortress Labs Ben and Leor, both former Harvard undergraduates, bring a wealth of experience in security, privacy, and computing infrastructure. Ben has led investments in these areas at multiple venture capital firms, while Leor has held engineering and management roles at MITRE, Leidos, and various venture-backed startups.
