Network security isn’t all about hackers. In fact, 80% of ICS network incidents are unintentional. Still, the impacts they have on safety, productivity, and profitably are significant and very real. In this webinar you will learn why cyber security should be an important component of your customer’s overall network resiliency and redundancy strategy. Through documented incidents we will review the safety and economic impact that cyber security incidents can have on industrial control systems and show the business opportunity for you and your customers to secure their systems against such risks. We'll explain the components of a comprehensive security approach designed not only to keep hackers out, but equally important, to protect the systems from within, and share practical tips for you to help your customers get started.

CSIA Pulse will be officially introduced in early October this year. As you may recall, CSIA Pulse is a new, simpler, statistics program designed around feedback from our integrator members. The CSIA Pulse program is designed to give members ready-access to relevant member-wide metrics to help business owners and management set realistic targets for their efforts to improve company operations. In this webinar, we will give a brief overview of the Pulse goals and then dive into the parameters being gathered and why these parameters are useful for measuring your company performance. At the wrap-up, we’ll show how we are using Microsoft Excel to simplify the data collection and reporting process while exposing the performance indicator calculations and the reasons for computing these indicators. The confidentiality of your data is critical and we will continue to use iLumen to help manage the data collection, as we’ve done for the past several years. CSIA Pulse will propel the benefits of gathering statistics on company performance metrics across our CSIA integrator members. Please join us at this webinar to learn more about how you can improve your company performance by learning from others.

Anthony Valasek,  Engineering Manager, PREMIER System Integrators
Engineers promoted into management roles quickly learn they are not measured by their individual contributions, but rather by the performance of their staff. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely used tool that promotes the transformation from engineer to leader, specifically around the interaction with people. This webinar will show how gaining this practical knowledge leads to improvements in management areas such as change management, coaching, decision making, conflict management, team dynamics, project management and selling. This powerful information will take your leadership skills to the next level.
