Addressing the Security Challenges of Operational Technology

About

The convergence of operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) has created a complex security landscape for critical infrastructure sectors. CISOs are now facing unprecedented challenges as traditional IT risk management methods prove insufficient for securing these interconnected and highly sensitive cyber-physical systems (CPS). The unique vulnerabilities of CPS, including proprietary protocols, intolerance for downtime, and severe consequences of failure, demand a reimagined approach to risk management.

What You Will Learn:

• Optimal Asset Discovery Methods: Learn how to select the best methods for discovering and managing assets within your CPS environment.
• Addressing Ground-Level Risk Realities: Understand how to tackle the specific risk realities faced by your CPS environment and develop practical solutions.
• Implementing Effective Risk Controls: Gain insights into identifying and implementing the most effective risk controls for your CPS infrastructure.
