Andrea Carcano, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Nozomi Networks, is an expert in industrial network security, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and has published a number of academic papers on the subject. His passion for cybersecurity and solving the unique challenges around ICS became the focus of his PhD in Computer Science from the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria. Carcano worked on the European Commission Power Plant Security Program, was a Senior Security Engineer for global oil and gas supermajor Eni, and most recently (through his work at Nozomi Networks) developed software that detects intrusions to critical infrastructure control systems. In his current role at Nozomi Networks, Carcano is helping build a new generation of ICS Security products.
The cyber threats facing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) include nation-state attacks, hacktivists, criminals and even trusted insiders. The frequency and ferocity of attacks are growing and continue to pose a major challenge to those ICS practitioners and cybersecurity teams tasked with protecting our critical national infrastructure (CNI).
