SANS Network Security 2022: Keynote | Scanning Highly Sensitive Networks

Regardless of the industry you work in, all large companies have at least a few network segments that are highly sensitive to network probes and scans. Most of the time these are due to legacy systems, especially when those legacy systems are embedded devices not running Windows or Linux. This keynote session will explore the most common issues that cause legacy systems to crash/hang and provide a range of recommendations to configure your scanning tools to match the risks of each network you need to scan. These techniques have been developed in production SCADA/ICS networks where potential risks could include loss of employee life and limb, and where the utmost care must be taken.
