About Session
Technical Level: Intermediate / Advanced
Virtualization has become standard in OT networks, but it also introduces new risks. This session explores how ransomware groups increasingly target VMware-based infrastructures, exploiting poor segmentation and misconfigurations to breach OT systems. Drawing on real-world incident response cases, Truesec experts will share insights into ESXi-targeting ransomware, including the impact of Babuk source code leaks, malware TTPs, and recovery best practices. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to secure virtualized OT environments and prevent lateral movement across critical systems.
