MIT Sloan to host "Think Security" event focused on critical infrastructure cybersecurity

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in collaboration with Kaspersky Lab, will host its second annual "Think Security" seminar, which offers MIT students an opportunity to learn about the challenges of protecting today's critical infrastructure against sophisticated, emerging cyberattacks. The event, organized in part by MIT Interdisciplinary Consortium for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity [(IC)3] and the Sloan School of Management, is open to select students during MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP) from January 23 – 26. The first two days of the weeklong seminar are dedicated to industrial cybersecurity, with a focus on forensic analysis of incidents and the advantages of using YARA rules to detect cyberattacks.
