OT networks need to share data with IT for performance monitoring and analytics. However, if an IT network is hacked and is shut down, this prevents the exchange of data from OT to IT. Data can be transferred directly to the cloud, so operators have access to that data even if IT is shut down due to an attack, however it needs to be transferred securely to prevent threats from entering the OT network. Join this session as we discuss best practices for locking down OT networks and enabling secure connections between OT networks and the cloud.

During this session:

• Learn to think vertically about production encompassing ground-to-cloud thinking and the importance of actionable visibility spanning the entire IT and OT business process stack
• Gain an understanding of how IT system outages can impact production directly and indirectly 
• Best practices for enabling secure communications with a locked down OT network architecture for asset visibility and analytics in the cloud
