Not all OT threats are equal, and not all defenses should be either. From ransomware to AI-automated attacks to cloud pivot risks, the OT threat landscape is evolving fast, and defenders who treat security as a purely technical problem are missing the most important variable: consequence.

In this session, led by Andrew Ginter of Waterfall Security, you will learn:

• Why consequence is the defining difference between IT and OT defense, and how engineering change control - not software controls alone - is the correct foundation for protecting safety-critical systems;
• How cloud connectivity and predictive maintenance services are creating new pivot paths that allow attackers to reach deeply defended industrial environments from unexpected directions;
• What third-generation cyber-informed engineering offers defenders?
