Join us for an engaging and insightful session on the critical role of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) in supporting the essential environments and services that healthcare facilities rely on to function seamlessly. Whether you're new to the ICS/OT field, a seasoned professional, or simply curious about the technology and its intricate interdependencies, this session is designed for you.

We’ll explore the key drivers and challenges that shape the intersection of IT and OT, introduce foundational concepts, and discuss the evolving workforce needs in this dynamic space. Through an open and interactive conversation, we’ll address some of the most pressing questions and topics in the ICS community, including:

  • Understanding Attacker Objectives in ICS/OT Environments: What are the threats, and how can we mitigate them?
  • Bridging the Gap Between IT and OT: Is it really all just “T”?
  • Navigating Regulations and Implementing the 5 Critical Controls for ICS: What you need to know to stay compliant and secure.

This session is more than just a talk - it’s an opportunity to deepen your understanding, share your perspectives, and connect with others in the ICS/OT community.
