The Future of Critical Infrastructure: Strategies for IT/OT Security, Workforce Readiness, and Trust


This event qualifies for 1 CPEs


As agencies modernize and digitize operations, the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) is introducing new security, resilience and governance challenges. From enterprise systems to mission-critical infrastructure, leaders must ensure consistent zero trust practices, vendor compliance and collaboration between IT and OT stakeholders to protect increasingly interconnected environments.

 

During this webinar, government and industry experts will discuss how agencies are addressing IT/OT security and resilience through workforce development, pilot programs and emerging technologies. Panelists will also examine how AI and automation can safely and effectively improve visibility, reduce risk and strengthen the long-term security of both IT and OT environments.

 

Learning objectives:

  • Assessing the cybersecurity risk challenges with the convergence of OT and IT
  • Emerging goals and policies around OT and IT convergence
  • Addressing workforce challenges around OT and IT security
