Enabling FCEB Agencies to Enact BOD 23-01

Binding Operational Directive 23-01 applies to all IP-addressable networked assets that can be reached over IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Most agencies have worked for many years to understand their IT assets and vulnerabilities, but few have focused on OT and IoT assets and hyperconnected facilities.

OT technologies encompass a wide range of machines and configurations, to include pumps, compressors, valves, turbines, and similar equipment, interface computers and workstations, programmable logic controllers and many diagnostics, safety, metering, and monitoring and control systems that enable or report the status of variables, processes, and operations.

With current and former federal civilian cybersecurity leaders and experts, this panel discussion dives into which technologies and networks are in scope for the BOD, how to meet its requirements, and overcome potential asset discovery and visibility challenges.

You’ll learn:

• What federal OT networks encompass and why OT is increasingly important to protect for federal agencies
• Nuances in IT/OT security awareness
• How to understand and implement BOD 23-01
• Tips and lessons learned for enacting the BOD by the deadline
