As industrial environments become more connected, operational technology is increasingly exposed to ransomware, supply chain compromise and geopolitical threats. Yet OT resilience is shaped as much by organizational decisions and behaviors as by technical controls. Legacy systems, limited visibility and unsafe assumptions - such as the persistence of the "air gap" - continue to create systemic risk across critical operations.

True OT security requires aligning people, processes and technology around realistic threat models and operational constraints. Leadership accountability, asset awareness and pragmatic controls are essential to reducing risk without disrupting production or safety.

In this insightful session, industry leaders will discuss:

• Why legacy systems and supply chain access remain the most exploited OT weaknesses;
• How attackers pivot from IT into OT, and what actually works to stop them;
• What effective OT incident response looks like when uptime, safety and people are on the line.
