Do you recognize this? The NIS2/Cyber Security Act is knocking on the door, but in many organizations the OT security project has not even started. You know that awareness alone is no longer enough - it is time for action! Why does it remain difficult for many organizations to take the first step in tackling "the job"?
As an OT network specialist, we see every day where things go wrong:
• Well-intentioned IT advice that doesn't work for OT systems.
• Management that does not free up budget or people.
• Suppliers who do not have their own security in order.
• A tangle of old (legacy) systems that are difficult to manage.
The result? The OT manager is often left to fend for himself, with a growing mountain of work and ever more risks. And in the meantime, OT systems are the 'low-hanging fruit' for cybercriminals: easy to find, often poorly protected and therefore an attractive target.
But the good news is that you don't have to wait for big budgets or complicated projects. There are immediately applicable, pragmatic measures that will quickly and with few resources make your OT network more secure.
During this presentation, Bart Jan Witteveen and Edward van de Langemeen will show you exactly which 'low-hanging fruit' you can pick today. Practical, clear and directly applicable. This way, you can take the first steps towards a safe OT environment - and you will no longer be alone.
