The Future of OT Cybersecurity: Zero Trust + Deep Visibility
28
5:00 AM - 5:45 AM
Resilient Operations Demand Both Zero Trust and Deep Visibility
Critical infrastructure and industrial systems face mounting pressures: increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, expanding remote access needs, and stricter regulatory expectations. Traditional perimeter defenses or monitoring in isolation are no longer sufficient.
The industry is moving toward a dual foundation for modern OT security:
Zero Trust — ensuring every user, device, and connection is continuously verified, with access tightly controlled.
Deep Visibility — achieving continuous awareness of assets, behaviors, and anomalies across complex OT/ICS environments.
Together, these approaches deliver resilience by not only preventing unauthorized access but also detecting and responding to threats that inevitably emerge.
Why It Matters
- Prevent Downtime: Continuous monitoring paired with secured access reduces the likelihood of disruptions in industrial operations.
- Improve Safety & Reliability: Context-aware access combined with anomaly detection safeguards both people and processes.
- Meet Regulatory Demands: Approaches rooted in Zero Trust and visibility align naturally with frameworks like NERC CIP and IEC 62443.
- Balance Security & Operations: Security strategies must protect without slowing down. A combined approach allows organizations to achieve both.
What You’ll Learn
- Why Zero Trust has become an imperative for OT environments.
- How visibility and anomaly detection accelerate incident response.
- Real-world scenarios where combining the two has strengthened operational resilience.
- Practical steps organisations can take to mature their security posture while meeting compliance requirements.
