As industrial environments rapidly evolve, ensuring robust security across converging IT and OT systems is more critical than ever. This session will explore key challenges and strategies in securing production plants amid increasing IT-OT convergence and automation. It will address how organizations can effectively secure legacy control systems lacking modern capabilities as they integrate into enterprise IT environments.

The discussion will also focus on overcoming cultural barriers between IT and OT teams, ensuring clear communication across functions, and identifying emerging frameworks for integrating technologies such as automation, AI, quantum computing, and edge systems.
