OT security in practice: detecting and responding to real threats

When 600 apartment buildings in Ukraine lost heating during a harsh winter, the cause wasn’t missiles – it was OT malware.

Cybersecurity in OT is not just about protecting data; it is about ensuring resilience, withstanding disruption, and maintaining essential operations under adverse conditions. In OT environments, priorities shift from confidentiality to availability, safety, and the robustness of physical processes. With the digitalisation of industry and an increasingly volatile geopolitical climate, the risks of espionage and disruptive attacks have grown significantly.

In this session, we will explore how a specific OT malware case was identified, how its behaviour was analysed, and what insights were gained from dissecting it. Most importantly, we will demonstrate how you can strengthen detection strategies to stay at least one step ahead of threat actors seeking to disrupt your operations.
