Operational technology environments in manufacturing plants, power grids, refineries and critical infrastructure have become prime targets for sophisticated cyberattacks that can cause physical damage, production disruptions and safety incidents. The convergence of IT and OT, coupled with remote access requirements and legacy industrial control systems, has created an expanded attack surface that traditional OT security approaches struggle to protect. CISOs and OT security leaders now face the challenge of securing decades-old equipment that was never designed with cybersecurity in mind, while enabling the digital transformation and remote monitoring capabilities that modern operations demand.  

In this session, the expert panel will discuss:  

• The OT threat landscape and why traditional security fails; 
• Zero exposure architecture: principles and practical implementation;
• IT-OT convergence and network segmentation strategies.
