Operational Technology (OT) Network Security Challenges and Solutions

As cybersecurity threats continue to be a top concern facing organizations today, the Information Technology (IT) Governance team must stay abreast in assuring that the organization is protected. The IT Governance team must continually evaluate the risks to the organization and put in place Processes, Procedures and Technologies to protect the assets of the organization.

In recent years there has been a shift in the IT landscape related to how technology is used to conduct business. Organizations are connecting Operational Technology (OT) Systems that are involved in the direct production of goods or services (that were once siloed) to the network.

While these OT Systems typically run critical infrastructure, they paradoxically often run on aging software and obsolete hardware, which makes them difficult to patch and highly vulnerable to exploits by malicious actors. Cyber Attacks related to these systems could be devastating to the supply chain of products and services.

This Webinar will discuss how OT Networks are transforming Enterprise Networks and discuss the challenges and solutions related to OT Network Security, including:

• The Emergence and evolution of OT Networks in the Enterprise
• The Risks associated with OT Networks
• The Challenges faced with OT Networks
• Technology Solutions and Strategies for Securing OT Networks
• Mini Case Study – ACME Manufacturing Inc.
