The 5 Disruptors of OT Security

Operational technology (OT) environments and industrial control systems (ICS) are becoming increasingly interconnected and complex, expanding the attack surface and necessitating innovative defense mechanisms. To ensure operational resilience and mitigate risk effectively, organizations must continually adapt their OT cybersecurity strategies in response to the rapid advancement of technologies, the evolving nature of cyber threats, and the emergence of new regulatory frameworks.

In this webinar, Claroty Chief Product Officer Grant Geyer will lead a forward-looking discussion on how organizations can adapt to the following factors impacting OT security:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI): The rise of AI-powered solutions has the potential to revolutionize threat detection, incident response, authentication, and more — but it also has the potential to introduce unforeseen cybersecurity challenges.
• Cloud Computing: The Cloud's scalability and efficiency are transforming OT infrastructure, but widespread Cloud adoption also raises critical concerns surrounding data integrity and privacy.
• 5G Networks: The rollout of 5G promises unparalleled speed and connectivity, but it also expands the attack surface, demanding innovative defense mechanisms to safeguard OT assets.
• Regulatory Changes: Navigating the complex, evolving landscape of cybersecurity regulations presents compliance challenges, but it also opportunities to enhance resilience against evolving threats.
• Third-Party Access: Increasing demand for third-party access to OT introduces complexities in ensuring secure operations, necessitating robust authentication and authorization frameworks.
