Zero trust architecture or ZTA, microsegmentation, software-defined networks and Layer 7 firewalls with advanced intrusion prevention capabilities represent powerful security approaches, but selecting the right combination for your environment can be challenging. The complexity of modern OT networks demands strategic evaluation frameworks that balance security effectiveness with operational requirements and cost considerations. Successful implementation requires moving beyond vendor marketing to comprehensive assessment methodologies that validate real-world performance and integration capabilities.

In this session, the panel will share insights on:

• ZTA implementation requires comprehensive network visibility and segmentation;
• Advanced threat protection demands integration between multiple security solution layers;
• Business case development necessitates balancing security effectiveness with operational costs.
