About Session
Technical Level: Intermediate
Operational technology is viewed as a growing threat environment by governments globally. So far over 150 countries have enacted some form of cyber legislation. We have seen broad regulation such as NIS2 in the EU, OTCC in Saudi Arabia and NERC CIP in the US. The challenge is compounded by the lack of harmonization among these regulations, as many regulatory frameworks do not align with established standards. As threats to OT systems become increasingly sophisticated, organizations must align with emerging regulatory standards, not merely for adherence, but to strengthen their defense posture. As OT Environments expand in terms of digitalization, they become more susceptible to a diverse range of cybersecurity risks, making it essential to align risk management strategies with regulatory demands from the outset.
In this presentation, we will discuss how to identify OT Cyber-Physical Risks and build a resilient compliance frameworks that are not a one-time effort, but a continuous process. In this session, we will explore best practices for ongoing monitoring, risk assessment, and mitigation – integrating compliance checks designed to help ensure that organizations stay ahead of both regulatory changes and the shifting threat landscape.
