Securing Operational Technology is a challenge for many organizations that depend on the continual availability of ICS/SCADA systems to manufacture their products. For example, maintenance windows for security patches are often hard to find and raise concerns about ““breaking”” systems. Furthermore, OT systems require Internet access and, therefore, are vulnerable to threat actors who are often nation-states. 

In this CISO Stories webinar, panelists share their experiences dealing with the security of OT in their organizations. They will also discuss best practices and tools developed by a cross sector task force of CISOs, highlighting:

  • Gaining senior management support for OT security
  • Organizing an incident response process
  • Improving the security of suppliers providing OT equipment and systems
  • Current and proposed OT security regulations and standards
  • Addressing technical debt
  • Effective security controls and compensating controls

Join us for key insights and tools to help your organization improve the security of your Operational Technology environment.
