Most OT breaches are not the result of sophisticated zero-day attacks; they are the result of defenders thinking like good people instead of bad actors. True cyber resilience in OT demands thinking offensively, moving beyond compliance as a goal, and operationalizing security as a continuous discipline across people, processes and technology.

In this session, Carlos Sanchez of Fortinet will share insights on:

• Why adopting a bad-actor mindset - understanding how attackers probe, provoke and exploit operational behavior - is foundational to effective OT risk reduction;
• How organizations can move past compliance-as-an-endpoint to treat it as an outcome of genuine, operationalized security practice;
• The compounding challenges of remote access, digital transformation, asset visibility and product integrity that define today's OT risk landscape.
