Evil Bubbles or How to Deliver Attack Payload via the Physics of the Process

Explore the intersection of cybersecurity and physical processes in this Black Hat conference talk that challenges conventional security zoning practices. Learn how attack payloads can be delivered through the physics of industrial processes, emphasizing the need to extend security considerations beyond traditional boundaries. Gain insights into innovative attack vectors that exploit the physical interactions between equipment, and understand the importance of comprehensive security measures that encompass both digital and physical aspects of industrial systems. Discover the potential vulnerabilities in process control systems and how they can be exploited by malicious actors. By the end of this 48-minute presentation, recognize the critical importance of expanding security and safety zoning to include the physical processes themselves, ensuring a more robust defense against sophisticated cyber-physical attacks.
