Segmenting industrial networks in small zones of trust is an efficient way to protect operations and avoid attacks to spread. But in many cases, it can be too complex to modify the network, deploy zone-based firewalls, and ensure assets are placed in the proper segment without disrupting production.

This session will look at the roadblocks asset owners are facing and discuss ways to make segmentation projects finally move forward.

In this session, led by Kevin Holcomb, Technical Marketing Engineer, Cisco, you will learn:

• Why is network segmentation so hard to do in OT?
• What are the software-based segmentation options?
• What is virtual segmentation, and how can it help deploy software-based segmentation?
• How can AI help automate asset grouping to inform segmentation policies?
