To overcome these issues, we worked with multiple people and companies within the ICS industry to ensure we have the right products and categories to create a meaningful test of the security of these products and protocols”, — report organizers.

For servers using the Open Platform Communications (OPC) specification, a separate category will be provided for Pwn2Own 2020.
