Traditional OT security approaches focus on isolated data points - asset inventories, vulnerability lists, patch queues - without the context needed to prioritize effectively. Organizations struggle with aging infrastructure, lack of visibility across complex supply chains, and regulatory demands that require understanding not just what assets exist, but their operational criticality and interdependencies. Simply buying tools generates overwhelming alert volumes without actionable intelligence or measurable progress.

This session, led by Rick Kaun, VP solutions at Verve, presents a multi-dimensional ecosystem approach built on decades of OT regulatory experience, exploring:

• Contextual risk calculation combining asset criticality, vulnerability exposure and operational impact;
• Think global, act local architectures that cascade remediation strategies across distributed facilities;
• Measurable outcomes transforming reactive whack-a-mole security into proactive, data-driven programs.
