The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments is creating new opportunities in manufacturing. Rapid adoption of Cloud, remote access and connected devices has paved the way for Industrial IoT (IIot) as a fixture for future business. With this modernization, however, comes undesired vulnerabilities and other attack vectors, which are increasingly being exploited by malicious actors.
The OT threat landscape has escalated and legacy technologies are no longer effective at stopping modern cyberthreats. As the lines of distinction between IT and OT continue to fade, today’s requirements call for a new approach.
Join Palo Alto Networks and IDC in discussion that explores modern security trends in manufacturing. Gain perspective and learn about different approaches for extending consistent security across the organization.
Hosted by:
- Kevin Prouty, Vice President, Energy and Manufacturing Insights at IDC
With Palo Alto Networks:
- Del Rodillas, Director of Industrial Solutions
- Xu Zou, VP of Network Security (IoT)
- John Kindervag, Field CTO
