(CS)²AI Online™ Seminar: The ICS Advisory Project - Dashboarding ICS Threats & Vulnerabilities

The ICS Advisory Project is an innovative open-source initiative founded by Dan Ricci, designed to enhance the cybersecurity posture of OT/ICS environments. It provides a comprehensive dashboard & CSV data format for visualizing DHS CISA ICS Advisories & effectively analyzing vulnerabilities within the OT/ICS community.

This project empowers smaller OT asset owners, CISOs, cybersecurity analysts, & researchers with tools to swiftly pinpoint threats & vulnerabilities by product, vendor, & critical infrastructure sector. It offers invaluable insights into supply chain risks & sector-specific vulnerabilities, streamlining the risk assessment process.

By normalizing vendor names, identifying ICS asset types, & correlating data to the CISA KEV catalog, the ICS Advisory Project significantly reduces the time security analysts spend correlating data from various sources. Its dataset is publicly available on GitHub, fostering a collaborative environment for global users & organizations.
