How to achieve comprehensive and real-time visibility of your Operational Technology estate to manage cyber-risks
Cyber criminals and malicious state actors are increasingly exploiting critical sectors to create geopolitical impacts. In the past, IT systems have come under attack. But more recently, operational technology (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been the target. And when these are successfully breached, the operational consequences are highly significant and can even threaten the organisation’s survival.
All too often, organisations find it difficult to defend their OT systems. This is frequently because they have very limited visibility into these systems. And when asset visibility is poor, it’s hard to ensure they are secure: auditing, and even locating, critical machinery that is connected to the internet becomes a challenge. And with this challenge comes a massively heightened cybersecurity risk.
f you can’t see your CPS assets, how can you decide where to place your defences? How can you optimise your devices’ security? How can you prioritise the actions you take?
Better visibility brings better decision-making. Join us to network with your peers and gain practical insights into the importance of monitoring operational technology as the first line in managing and mitigating cyber-risks. This is an exclusive event and seat numbers are very limited, so apply for your place now.
The topics we will explore
During the meeting, we will focus on questions such as:
- Why do hackers target operational technology? Where is it most vulnerable? And how do hackers most commonly breach its defences?
- What are the actions organisations must take to defend their OT from cyber criminals? Why is visibility so important?
- How do systems for monitoring OT differ and what are their most important functionalities? How can organisations identify the best visibility solutions?
- What are the obstacles to implementing OT visibility solutions successfully? How do these arise and how can these be overcome?
- What internal processes are needed to ensure that constant and real-time OT visibility is an effective defence against intruders? What are the human factors that can impact OT threat visibility and how should these be managed?
