About this talk

Industrial environments once built to operate in isolated networks are now connected to the internet, exposing them to all the threats that plague IT networks. While point products can appear attractive as you tackle the security challenge of the moment, maturing your cybersecurity should be seen as a journey. During this session, Aasef Iqbal will discuss the cybersecurity evolution taking place for OT including security essentials for critical infrastructure, the impact of regulations, and the value of investing in a security platform that will support your cybersecurity strategy now and as you mature. The session will cover: • Defining a (security) platform and its importance for protecting critical infrastructure • “Detection” vs. “Protection” | Their roles and expectations for ROI and their ability to advance security in OT environments • “Visibility” | Unraveling false expectations and defining visibility in OT Security • What you should know before investing in a security vendor and security platform
