Umang Barman presents zero trust architecture for manufacturing facing ransomware attacks. He discusses secure cloud connectivity, microsegmentation without downtime, and practical strategies for eliminating lateral movement.
Manufacturing faces the highest ransomware attacks despite security investments. Breaches follow patterns - stolen third-party credentials enable lateral movement from PLCs to SCADA systems, forcing factory shutdowns. Air-gapped systems are no longer realistic as cloud analytics, ERP tools and contractor access now connect IT and OT networks.
Zero trust for OT requires three principles: worker safety, uninterrupted uptime and simple deployment. Solutions include secure cloud connectivity hardware, microsegmentation without downtime, browser-based contractor access with time-limited credentials, and decoy systems detecting attackers.
In this session, Umang Barman of Zscaler will share insights on:
- How to achieve end-to-end zero trust segmentation without downtime or endpoint disruption;
- Which legacy tools and access models can be retired to cut cost and reduce security sprawl;
- A practical road map for improving uptime, safety and resilience while eliminating lateral-movement pathways.
