• How can cybersecurity teams effectively engage with manufacturing and engineering teams to integrate security practices into the early stages of process design?
• What strategies can we use to shift the focus to tangible risks to production and safety?
• Any experiences you can share on using performance management data and critical asset analysis to communicate the cost and impact of security incidents in terms that resonate with manufacturing leaders?
• What are the best practices for translating cybersecurity concepts into OT language to foster understanding and collaboration with manufacturing engineering teams?

OT environments are not like data centers and trying to secure them with IT tools is like trying to play a vinyl record on a CD player (same goal, ineffective tech). From visibility & vulnerability management to risk response, OT demands specialized strategies that prioritize continuity & control. Join us as we explore how traditional IT security can actually increase risk in ICS environments. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of why OT requires purpose-built solutions, how to avoid the most common (& costly) missteps, & what it really takes to keep operations running safely & securely.

• What strategies have you found effective for managing patches on legacy OT devices, particularly when there’s resistance to investing in upgrades or replacements?
• How can organizations effectively collaborate with OEMs to address firmware vulnerabilities on legacy PLCs, especially when OEM support is limited or ending?
• What key lessons have emerged from past vulnerability remediation efforts in OT, and how can these inform future strategies for risk mitigation and patch management?

Join this interactive workshop where we move beyond theory to practical application. Based on real-world lessons learned, this session will guide you through the step-by-step process of developing and implementing a NIST-CSF risk-assessment-based OT cybersecurity strategy.Through interactive discussions and collaborative exercises, you’ll gain insights into:

• Identifying key risks and challenges in OT cybersecurity
• Transitioning from “What do I need to do (and why)?” to “How do I plan and execute?”
• Defining roles, timelines, and budgeting for a successful implementation

• How can small teams effectively prioritize OT security in a resource-constrained environment?
• What approaches have been successful in gaining executive management support?
• If you could recommend the top three cost-effective actions that every organization should take to strengthen OT security, what would they be?
