Operational technology environments present unique cybersecurity challenges that traditional risk assessment methodologies cannot adequately address. The complexity of diverse, legacy infrastructure with extended life cycles demands sophisticated evaluation approaches beyond conventional vulnerability scoring systems. Effective OT risk management requires dynamic, multi-dimensional analysis.

This session explores implementing dynamic risk scoring systems that provide real-time, contextual risk assessment, enabling situation-specific prioritization and informed decision-making in complex industrial environments through integrated multiple risk indicators and operational context.

This session, led by Cheldon Brown, cyber technology consultant at Rockwell Automation, will cover:

• Typical OT challenges and how that impacts accurate risk ranking;
• Multi-dimensional data collection methods for OT;
• Contextual risk calculations;
• Use cases on turning risk into action to maximize scarce resources.
