One Enterprise, One Risk: Building a Strong IT-OT Security Culture
Course
Jim Betzhold of South Florida Water Management District shares the real-world journey of unifying IT and OT security and the cultural, technical and organizational lessons learned along the way.
Unifying IT and OT security is less a technology challenge than a people challenge. Bridging the cultural divide between teams with different priorities, risk tolerances and working environments requires strong leadership and compelling value propositions.
This session, led by Jim Betzhold, CISO, South Florida Water Management District, will cover:
- How South Florida Water Management District navigated the organizational and technical journey from siloed IT and OT teams to a unified, cross-trained security function;
- Why shared situational awareness - knowing an IT fault from an OT fault in real time - is essential for operational safety and faster incident response;
- What lessons from cross-training, technology adoption and cultural alignment can help other organizations evaluate whether unification is right for them.
