Gender equality in the Infosec world as a topic of discussion comes with a lot of heated arguments and differences in opinion.
So let me start with some disclaimers on the target audience for this post. If you are in the category who believes everything about gender is perfect in the infosec world, this post is not for you. If you are in the category who believes gender and bringing diversity is not your area of interest, then this post is not for you either. There are so many interesting problems that the world offers you. Climate change, poverty, diseases, unemployment, addiction, science problems and what not. Everybody has the freedom to choose their area of interest and contribute towards it.

Stefan and I had the pleasure of joining a one-day closed workshop on Industrial IoT Security. As always, we ended up with plenty of new research ideas and great contacts. We hope of course to post on follow-up research, but in this short post we quickly want to publish our slides which contain our input for the workshop. We mainly presented on IT security challenges for modern IIoT environments and presented some case studies for successful hardening/protection of IIoT environments as well as security in IIoT product development.
