IT/OT Convergence: Boosting Cybersecurity
Course
Jonas Rendahl, Ricardo Hormann, Karol Herta, Jan Bau and Will Stefan Roth explore how to overcome cultural barriers between IT/OT teams and establish unified security approaches that respect both domains' strengths.
Organizations today face unique challenges in bridging IT and OT security environments due to their different priorities, terminologies and operational requirements. While IT teams focus on cybersecurity innovations, OT teams prioritize reliability and uptime. Creating meaningful collaboration requires finding common ground through shared understanding and business value alignment. By establishing a unified approach that respects both domains' strengths, organizations can enhance their overall security posture while meeting critical production and operational needs.
In this session, the expert panel will cover:
- What differences exist between IT and OT teams?
- How to overcome cultural differences and communication challenges between IT and OT teams to improve collaboration and ensure security;
- How to utilize a core of people, processes and technologies to enhance the cybersecurity of organizations?
