Securing the Unseen: Risk and Vulnerability Management for OT Devices


Course
Enroll

Syed Belal of Octave examines how combining asset inventory, NIST NVD data and operational context enables smarter vulnerability prioritization and more effective risk management across OT environments.

With over 3,600 ICS advisories covering more than 12,000 vulnerabilities in 2026 alone, knowing what is in your OT environment is only the starting point. CVSS scores and NVD data provide a baseline, but they cannot tell you which vulnerabilities to fix first without the operational context that makes risk real.

 

In this session, led by Syed Belal of Octave, you will learn:

  • How to move beyond generic vulnerability lists by mapping NIST NVD data against site-specific asset inventories to surface production-centric risk;
  • Why CVSS scores alone are insufficient for prioritization, and how factors such as asset criticality, connectivity, data sensitivity and existing controls determine true remediation priority;
  • How a structured vulnerability-asset model enables organizations to continuously assess and act on risk across distributed OT environments.
