You say SCADA, I say … mainframes. In this talk, I'll show you some remarkable - and scary - parallels between the worlds of SCADA ICS and mainframes. Notably, that what each system manages is critical to our lives. And that their worlds are insular, proprietary, and seemingly shut-off to everyone else. Except for when they aren't.
I extrapolate the future of security for mainframes based on the challenges and failures of SCADA ICS as it has evolved from sequestered to connected. You'll learn how SCADA serves as a cautionary tale for securing mainframes against acts of God, nature and man. And I'll present to you the scenario of a Stuxnet for Mainframes.
