Protecting Critical Assets: The Zero Trust Blueprint You Need
Course
John Filitz of Cisco explains why zero-trust architecture - built on deep asset visibility and network-native segmentation - is the blueprint industrial environments need to reduce OT risk.
Industrial networks were never designed with security in mind, and traditional perimeter defenses are no longer adequate against today's threat actors. With 61% of organizations actively deploying industrial AI and remote access remaining a top attack vector, the path to resilience runs through comprehensive asset visibility and zero trust architecture built for OT realities.
In this session, led by John Filitz of Cisco, you will learn:
- Why full asset visibility below Level 3 of the Purdue Model is a prerequisite for any effective segmentation strategy;
- How embedding security directly into OT network infrastructure eliminates the overhead of overlay solutions and enables dynamic zone-based policy enforcement;
- Why zero trust network access offers time-bound, least-privilege connectivity that closes the back doors left open by VPNs and shadow IT.
