Operational technology and cyber-physical systems face unprecedented complexity - legacy assets interconnect with cloud platforms, IoT sensors and IT networks, creating attack paths adversaries actively exploit. Traditional vulnerability management based on best practices no longer scales. Organizations must shift from managing everything to prioritizing what threatens critical business processes.

Exposure management transforms security programs by mapping assets to business-critical processes, identifying exploitable attack paths and prioritizing actions based on actual threat actor behavior rather than compliance checklists. This approach enables teams to explain risk reduction clearly to boards while building trust with operational partners through surgical, non-disruptive interventions.

The session will cover:

• Mapping attack paths that could materially disrupt critical manufacturing and operational processes;
• Prioritizing mitigations based on active threat intelligence and business impact, not generic risk scores;
• Centralizing security actions through trusted partnerships with control owners across OT-IT environments.
