Rethinking Risk: Identity's Critical Role in IT and OT Convergence

Yet, amidst this well-worn narrative, one vital component often remains too-often overlooked: Identity. As IT and OT systems become increasingly intertwined, the role of Identity in bridging these two domains is not just important—it’s transformative.

This session will move beyond the standard discussions of IT/OT convergence and focus on the pivotal role that Identity plays in this integration. We will explore how Identity management acts as the crucial link between IT and OT, reshaping traditional approaches to risk management and security. By placing Identity at the center of this convergence, organizations can better protect their critical infrastructure, enhance their security posture, and respond more effectively to emerging threats.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Evolution of Convergence: Understanding how the integration of IT and OT has progressed and why the traditional convergence narrative is no longer sufficient.
  • Identity as the Bridge: Examining how Identity management is the critical factor that connects IT and OT systems, enabling more cohesive and secure operations.
  • Transforming Risk Management: How an Identity-centric approach fundamentally changes risk management strategies, providing greater visibility and control over both IT and OT environments.
  • Real-World Applications: Insights and case studies on how leading organizations are leveraging Identity to secure their converged IT/OT infrastructures.
