The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments is creating new opportunities for organizations of all types. Rapid adoption of Cloud, 5G and related technologies have paved the way for Industrial IoT (IIot) as a fixture for future business. With this modernization, however, comes undesired vulnerabilities and other attack vectors, which are increasingly being exploited by malicious actors.The OT threat landscape has escalated such that legacy technologies are no longer effective at stopping modern cyberthreats. As the lines of distinction between IT and OT continue to fade, today’s requirements call for a security platform that not only updates capabilities but also unifies resources and spans the needs of both domains. Join us for this presentation while we explore the core capabilities that define such a security platform for IT and OT. Learn about considerations for the consolidation of both core security as well as advanced OT applications, and how to apply advanced AI/ML techniques across the organization to ensure the safe implementation of IT and OT operations.
