OT security programs rarely stall because of technology gaps - they stall because of people, process and organizational friction. IT teams arrive with compliance checklists while plant operators push back on changes that threaten uptime. Third-party vendors resist controls over equipment they consider their own. Budget constraints mean no new tools, and without internal allies on the floor, even the best security strategy hits a wall.

In this insightful discussion, the panel of experts will discuss:

• How cybersecurity ambassador programs unlock plant-floor buy-in without requiring budget or new tools;
• Why incorporating third-party vendors as stakeholders early prevents ownership conflicts and back-door workarounds;
• How trust-building with operations teams - not compliance checklists - is what drives lasting OT security maturity.
