Assuming that Houston doesn’t get washed into the Gulf of Mexico over the next few days, I’m slated to take part in a five-day training course there from June 1st until June 5th. Check out this syllabus:

This course is designed to empower students with the ability to understand and utilize active defense mechanisms in concert with incident response for industrial control system networks to respond to and deny cyber threats. This class uses a hands-on approach to give students a technical understanding of concepts such as generating and using threat intelligence, communicating control system needs to information technology personnel to deploy appropriate defenses, detecting malicious actors or threats on control system networks, and performing threat triage and incident response to ensure the safety and reliability of operations technology.

Exciting, no?

Anyhow, while this means I’ll be locked up for most of the day (classes run from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM), I will have the evenings largely to myself. So if any of you are in the Houston area and would be keen on getting together for drinks, get in touch and we can make something happen.
