ZTNA Table Talks: CISO Accountability Is Rising in OT: Secure Remote Access Without Operational Disruption

The corporate CISO is gaining more accountability for OT security and remote access is where that new ownership gets tested first. Compliance pressure is compounding it: NERC CIP, TSA security directives and NIS2 now expect provable control over who reaches industrial systems, under what policy and with what evidence. Vendors, integrators and internal engineers all need paths into environments that weren't initially designed for them, and the traditional answers, mainly VPNs and jump hosts, add risk and operational drag instead of removing them.

In this webinar, our featured speaker, Forrester's Paddy Harrington, and AppGate's Walid Dimachkie, examine who's having to own OT security now, where OT breaches actually originate, what regulators expect that ownership to prove and how to apply Zero Trust principles to OT without disrupting operations. You'll leave with a practical playbook: identity-based access for users and groups of OT assets, an access architecture with no third-party trust boundary in the path and evidence produced as a byproduct of access, cutting vendor onboarding time and audit effort instead of adding to them. Built for CISOs and CIOs inheriting OT responsibility.
