The increased convergence of IT/OT environment in recent years has opened OT systems to the outside world. At the same time, government and critical infrastructure operators in Asia are adopting capabilities that allow for more remote operations to drive productivity and asset uptime. While remote access is becoming a necessity, enabling that access exposes a facility to increased threats. Critical infrastructure facilities are already facing an increase in attacks due to various elements. When workers and third-party vendors use remote communication technologies to directly access critical OT systems, the attack surface can become increasingly complex with new vulnerabilities.

The approach to secure OT network and assets is vastly different from IT security. In this session, learn how components of a zero-trust architecture can make vendor access management more secure, efficient, and scalable.
