2:00 PM – 2:25 PM
Modern OT monitoring tools are increasingly generating technical data: about network traffic, assets, vulnerabilities and user activity. But who actually understands this data? Engineers perhaps, but for many service managers, plant managers and directors it remains a black hole. In this session we will explore how to provide structure, context and usability to this abundance of data. Using practical examples we will show how you can build an abstraction layer on top of existing monitoring tools that provides relevant insights for operations, security and decision-making. Without adding extra complexity.
Topics covered include:
• How to clearly visualize network traffic and OT assets
• Why different roles require different insights
• How to work with monitoring data across platforms
• And: whether you actually still need a 24×7 OT SOC with good insight
This presentation is intended for professionals in OT, cybersecurity and operations who are looking for control over their monitoring data and are wondering whether a 24×7 OT SOC should always be the next step.
