As organizations digitally transform, they must also undergo a security transformation to protect against evolving and advanced cyber threats. Awareness of any device, anywhere on the network and determining the degree of trust is the first best practice for improving an organization’s OT security posture. Trust is no longer implicit for users, applications, or devices attempting to access the network.
Attackers, once on target, move north-south and east-west to assess and determine their next play. Network segmentation limits an attackers movement dynamically controlling their access based on business intent, behavior, and risk. As you gain visibility and control, it is valuable to leverage the data being collected for continuous analysis, learning what, where, when, who, how the users, devices and applications are behaving on the network. This insight leads to actionable intelligence used to improve efficiencies, create competitive advantage, enforce policies and detect known and unknown threats.
Key take-aways from this presentation include:
• Visibility — The importance of clear visibility to all devices, users, and applications on the network. Do you know what is on the network, what it is doing, should it be doing that?
• Control — Enhanced OT network and asset threat contextual information.
• Analytics — Centralized visibility, correlation, and automated response and remediation. Safe, secure and reliable operations in large, complex industrial networks with strengthened IT, OT, and IoT security.
Attendees are eligible to receive 1 CPE credit.
