When IT Inherits OT – Sponsored by Claroty on May 2nd, 2024

At 3:00 PM EDT

The event’s objective is to bring IT and OT executives together to discuss the business impact of integrating those departments to safeguard all systems. It is key to understand the difference between IT and OT, particularly in terms of priorities and the potential financial impact of IT actions on OT systems. For instance, what is the impact on production, and the bottom line, when cybersecurity remediation tools are introduced?

This invitation-only Roundtable is a closed-door discussion of the business challenges of integrating IT and OT in protecting cyber-physical systems.
