Operational technology security has long balanced reliability with innovation - but legacy systems now test that balance. Many organizations depend on legacy assets that remain mission-critical yet increasingly vulnerable. Aligning these environments with modern business imperatives demands more than reactive fixes; it requires reframing OT cybersecurity as a business enabler. Security leaders must evaluate how existing controls support continuity, compliance and growth while extending asset life cycles without disrupting performance.

In this session, Ivan Zhekov of TXOne Networks will discuss:

• The common challenge of determining and communicating the value of legacy OT cybersecurity to company stakeholders;
• Practical methodologies for assessing the alignment of current OT security measures with overarching business objectives;
• Strategies to embed cybersecurity as a foundation for trust, resilience and long-term business value.
