Hands Off! – OT Security in Live Operations
In OT environments, one thing often comes first: keep the plant running. Updates, active scanning, or changes to production systems therefore need to be carefully planned and assessed. So how can OT environments still be protected effectively? This presentation draws on practical experience to show how organizations can gain visibility into their OT networks, identify suspicious activity and anomalies, and assess security alerts without unnecessarily interfering with ongoing operations. It focuses on typical challenges, pragmatic approaches, and what OT security really needs to deliver in day-to-day operations.

In OT environments, one thing matters above all: the plant has to keep running. This is also one of the biggest challenges for cybersecurity. Updates, active scans, or short-term changes cannot always be implemented without potential impact on operations. At the same time, increasing connectivity, remote access, and digital dependencies are creating new security requirements for OT environments.
This presentation shows, based on practical experience, how organizations can implement OT security without unnecessarily affecting ongoing operations. The first step is gaining visibility into existing systems, communication flows, and suspicious activities.
But visibility alone is not enough. Security alerts need to be put into the right context: What is ...
