Building a Team Capable of Overseeing IT & OT Security
Course
Malonie Guha of SKF Group explores building security teams capable of managing IT/OT convergence by respecting operational boundaries and balancing technical expertise.
IT and OT environments operate under fundamentally different constraints: IT prioritizes data confidentiality and rapid patch deployment, while OT demands operational availability and carefully managed downtime. Yet businesses push convergence as the inevitable future, creating tension between strategic vision and operational reality. Success requires moving beyond technology solutions to address the human dimension - building teams that can navigate both worlds without losing sight of their distinct requirements.
Incident management benefits from shared life cycle principles, yet detection mechanisms, containment strategies and recovery priorities differ drastically.
This session, led by Malonie Guha, CISO at SKF Group, will cover:
- Structuring security functions across engineering, operations, assurance and resilience;
- Developing cross-functional skill sets that balance technical depth with stakeholder communication;
- Maintaining team morale and board confidence while navigating convergence complexities.
