Site-level security is necessary, but it is not sufficient. When each facility manages its OT assets independently, the result is configuration drift, inconsistent firmware baselines, undocumented changes and backup gaps that accumulate silently into enterprisewide risk. True resilience requires closing the gap between local visibility and enterprise-level control.

This session, led by Oliver Yates of AMDT, will cover:

• Why the comfortable assumption that site-level security equals organizational security is no longer defensible, and how configuration drift, firmware divergence and informal change execution create compounding risk across distributed industrial environments;
• How enterprisewide OT backup, version control and recovery - applied uniformly across PLCs and HMIs at every site - give security and operations teams real-time visibility into exactly what is running on every production floor from a single pane of glass;
• What it takes to move from site-by-site OT security governance to a scalable enterprise model that enables rapid recovery, supports regulatory defensibility and provides boards with the asset-level transparency they need.
