Third-party remote access to OT environments presents significant security challenges for critical infrastructure organizations. Without proper controls, these connections can introduce vulnerabilities that threaten operational integrity, safety and compliance. In this session, Amr Ahmed, director of solutions engineering, META, at Claroty, will examine the limitations of traditional IT remote access solutions in OT environments and present a more secure approach.

The session will explore:

• Security risks of conventional remote access methods (VPNs and jump servers) in OT environments;
• Challenges of maintaining security when third-party technicians require remote system access;
• How to implement granular, time-limited access controls without compromising OT security;
• Implementing agentless security solutions that don't compromise OT system integrity.
