Event Overview
AI is not the only two-lettered topic weighing heavily on enterprise security and technology leaders in 2026.
OT – Operational Technology – is now a mainstream topic in the cybersecurity community owing to the escalation in cyberattacks from state actors, hacktivists and ransomware groups.
How has the OT threat landscape evolved? What is an effective strategy for building an OT cybersecurity program, including getting IT and OT to work together? How should security and technology leaders prioritize OT cybersecurity in budget-constrained environments?
Register now to attend this exclusive Workshop, where you will join Dawn Cappelli, Director, OT-CERT, Dragos and former CISO, Rockwell Automation, for an interactive briefing on the escalating OT threat environment, ecosystem risk and the most critical controls for ICS environments. She will be followed by OT experts from Splunk and AWS who will share use cases and strategies from their customer experiences.
Seats are limited, so sign up now for this interactive session tackling topics including:
- IT-OT Convergence: Balancing Efficiency and Security Risks – How can organizations achieve secure convergence without disrupting operations
- Cybersecurity Threats to Critical Infrastructure – What are effective strategies for increasing resilience to cyber threats in OT environments?
- Supply Chain and Third-Party Risks in OT – How to identify and mitigate ecosystem risks, including suppliers, system integrators and OEMs, and utilities that are essential for your operations.
- AI-Powered Attacks and Defenses in OT Environments – What needs to be considered before deploying AI in OT environments?
