For decades, Operational Technology (OT) was organizationally segregated from IT. However, things have changed. Most industrial systems now have digital controls and are connected to IT systems and networks to enable remote monitoring, data analysis, and maintenance. The other significant change is that internet-connected sensors that make up part of the Internet of Things (IoT) have moved into office environments and industrial control systems.
This is despite the fact that threats to OT have a higher impact than classical IT because OT systems include not only manufacturing systems, but many of the systems that support critical national infrastructure, including hospitals, oil pipelines, or power plants. Obviously, OT needs to be given the same security considerations, if not higher, considering the potential risks of an OT security breach.
An OT environment presents a special case for the cybersecurity practitioner. To the degree possible, OT protection should leverage the increasingly powerful controls implemented on the IT infrastructure and, to the degree possible, adopt the zero-trust approach of the organization. In this track, you will find a selection of presentations covering various aspects of OT/IoT security, ranging from protecting devices, their identities, and network communications to standards and best practices emerging from the industry experts’ hands-on experience.
