Session description

Speaker: Christoph Pontau 

OT environments pose unique cybersecurity challenges: legacy systems, vendor-specific communication protocols, long lifecycles, and high availability requirements collide with a growing need for remote access for maintenance, support, and third-party service providers. Open interfaces and inadequately secured network zones can put production processes and human lives at risk. Attackers specifically exploit weakly secured remote access, over-privileged accounts, and a lack of visibility to gain entry to critical OT systems, causing production downtime, data loss, or security incidents.

This 15-minute session will show you how a modern, centralized access approach helps secure OT access on a risk basis. The focus is on the modern requirements a ...
