Organizations should embrace the concept of OT Systems Management (paralleling ITSM practices) within the unique environments of operating systems. Achieving a mature level of security is critical to improve overall ROI from increasingly connected industrial systems, and to ensure the foundational elements are in place to protect critical infrastructure from targeted and untargeted attacks.

Join Rick Kaun for a discussion around the natural progression of OTSM from basic asset inventory to comprehensive data for effective lifecycle management, risk reduction (from patching to compensating controls) and even contextual risk thresholds (such as calculated risk scores).

During this session you will learn:

What OT systems management really is and why it’s critical in OT security

How to establish a strong asset inventory as the foundation of your security program

How automation, aggregation of data and support for a central, specialized team is the most important consideration towards reducing risk and minimizing cost for OT security going forward
