In ConversationTraditionally, IT and OT are separate functions with different priorities – confidentiality and privacy versus safety and availability. Most operational technology wasn’t designed to be connected to an IP network. And yet, as technology advances that is exactly what is happening – opening up new attack vectors ready to be exploited by criminals. High profile malware attacks such as Shamoon and Black Energy 3 have highlighted the cyber risks facing operational technology and industrial control systems. Cyber risk is now firmly on the risk register for different sectors of the business. But how can this translate to effective risk management for connected IT and OT networks?During this presentation the panel of speakers will discuss how to build collaboration to ensure that robust risk management strategies are in place to deal with cyber-physical risk.Learning Outcomes:Understand the scope and methodologies of blended cyber-physical attacksDiscover how to encourage collaboration between IT & OTLearn strategies and tactics to create visibility across different technologies
