Shally Verma of Rockwell Automation explains how an asset-driven, contextual approach to OT security helps organizations prioritize risk, reduce exposure and strengthen resilience without disrupting operations.
As operational technology environments face growing cyber exposure, organizations are under pressure to reduce risk without disrupting availability, safety or production. Regulatory scrutiny, remote access, aging assets and persistent skills gaps are forcing OT leaders to rethink how risk is identified, prioritized and managed across complex industrial estates. Traditional IT-style remediation models often fall short where uptime and process continuity remain paramount.
By combining asset inventory, vulnerability intelligence, process criticality and compensating controls, organizations can move from reactive alert handling to targeted risk reduction. A multidimensional risk model helps separate what truly matters from background noise, enabling informed decisions that balance security, operations and business impact.
In this session, Shally Verma of Rockwell Automation will discuss:
- How contextual asset data and process criticality shape OT risk prioritization;
- Why patch urgency and remediation decisions must account for availability, exposure and compensating controls;
- How centralized visibility and risk scoring support consistent OT security across distributed environments.
