Why OT Security Can't Stop at Detection
Course
Gregor Chroner of GTT explains why detection alone is not enough in OT environments and how IT hygiene, best-of-breed integration and clear accountability turn visibility into real protection.
Detection is necessary, but it is not security. When OT anomaly tools fill dashboards with false positives, SOC teams lose trust in the data and default to manual intervention: a slow, error-prone and unsustainable response model. Meanwhile, most OT attacks don't originate on the plant floor; they begin with a compromised user, a flat network or a misconfigured IT environment.
Effective OT security requires good IT hygiene as its foundation, best-of-breed integration across the stack and clear accountability for end-to-end operations.
In this session, led by Gregor Chroner of GTT, you will learn:
- Why detection without automated prevention leaves manufacturers in a state of risk acceptance;
- How poor IT hygiene enables lateral movement that undermines OT security entirely;
- Why single-stack security promises fall short in manufacturing, and who must own the outcome.
