OT security is typically viewed as a cost center rather than a value driver. Production managers, measured solely on output efficiency for decades, resist investments that don't directly produce units. This perception persists despite financial losses from downtime, supply chain disruptions, reputation damage and material destruction when incidents occur.

Organizations must reframe OT security through cost avoidance rather than return on investment. A single hour of production downtime can cost millions, trucks pile up on highways causing fines, and customers question trust when security incidents make headlines. Yet measuring true impact requires understanding detailed processes across stakeholder groups, not just executive-level assessments.

In this session, led by Petrut Jianu of Novonesis and Jonas Rendahl of Consilium Safety Group, you will:

• Learn how to communicate the consequences of OT system failures or breaches;
• See how robust OT security can help mitigate risks associated with cyberattacks;
• Discover how to quantify the potential benefits of OT security investments and demonstrate the positive financial impact.
