About Session
Technical Level: Intermediate
Seats are limited, so be sure to register for the workshop when you register for the conference.
Workshop Overview
This full day workshop provides a comprehensive approach to OT network segmentation, addressing both strategic planning and technical implementation. The session is divided into two parts.
- • Part 1 – OT Segmentation project planning and requirements gathering
- • Part 2 – Hands-on technical implementation for OT Segmentation using a virtualized environment
Attendees can attend the entire workshop, or only the Part that aligns to their interests to provide flexibility in conference schedules. The workshop will reference relevant frameworks including NIS2 and IEC 62443 while emphasizing practical implementation over compliance.
Part 1 – Planning and Requirements for OT Segmentation
1.1. Foundations of OT Network Segmentation
- • Introductions and background
- • Understanding the operational and security benefits of segmentation
- • Analysis of common threat vectors mitigated by proper segmentation
- • Technical vs. logical segmentation approaches in industrial contexts
- • Reference architectures and segmentation models
1.2. OT Environment Assessment
- • Methodologies for documenting and analyzing existing OT network architectures
- • Asset discovery and classification techniques
- • Identifying critical systems and communication paths
- • Documenting legacy systems and protocol requirements
Lab Exercise: Analyzing sample OT network diagrams and identifying segmentation opportunities
