Virtual Webinar - Insurance Track
Industrial Smart Devices and Fire Investigation
Description:
This seminar will show insurance professionals the importance of understanding the operation and communication of industrial interconnected devices and machines. We will discuss the sensors that are commonly used in industrial processes and how that data can be harvested to aid in investigations and failure analysis. Because many of these machines are accessible via internet or local network access, we will examine how this sensor data, and other sensitive settings and firmware, may be vulnerable to manipulation after a damage event or accident. To emphasize the idea of remote manipulation of internet connected devices, a live demonstration of a wireless ignition source will be shown. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate real-world applications of the discussed concepts.
