One Attack Surface, Two Worlds: Securing the Converged IT/OT Environment
Course
Durga Prasad Dube and Sambit Sinha share how IT-OT convergence, AI integration and expanding attack surfaces are reshaping manufacturing security, while highlighting the need for integrated SOCs, resilience and stronger OT cyber defenses.
As IT and OT environments rapidly converge, manufacturers are facing a growing challenge: Attackers now see industrial infrastructure as a single attack surface, while organizations still defend it through fragmented teams and legacy security models. In this session, cybersecurity leaders discuss how artificial intelligence, cloud adoption, remote access and digitization are reshaping industrial security and exposing new vulnerabilities across connected manufacturing ecosystems. The session explores the realities of OT security, legacy infrastructure risks, ransomware exposure and the need for integrated cyber defense strategies in modern manufacturing environments.
In this session, you will learn:
- How IT-OT convergence is expanding the industrial attack surface;
- Why legacy systems, patching challenges and third-party access increase cyber risk;
- How integrated SOC models, skill fusion and cyber resilience can strengthen OT security.
