In this webinar, SimSpace Field CISO Jason Rivera (former NSA, former CrowdStrike) will brief you on prevalent Iranian-linked OT threats and show firsthand how to validate your AI agents with live attack simulations in the SimSpace AI Proving Grounds—your very own “What-If Machine.”
What To Expect
Recent Iranian OT threats against water & wastewater systems and more have delivered a stark reality check to OT security teams: traditional defense against nation-state actors is not sufficient.
In this webinar, you’ll receive an expert threat briefing breaking down how Iranian-linked threat actors have intensified targeting of internet-facing PLCs and SCADA systems across sectors.
Then, you’ll see firsthand how to stress-test and validate your IT/OT SOC against AI-fueled nation-state attacks in the SimSpace AI Proving Grounds—your very own “What-If Machine”—by running live adversary attacks in a realistic, isolated digital replica of your OT environment.
What You’ll Get
Emulate Iranian OT Target Environments
Build realistic digital replicas of water and wastewater systems to recreate Iranian-linked attacks safely.
Deploy Agentic Offensive Systems
Use AI-driven agents to mimic nation-state adversaries and execute realistic ICS attack chains.
Learn How to Achieve Preemptive Security
Test your security stack against threat variations to close detection gaps before attackers occur in production.
