Operational technology (OT) sits at the core of federal mission delivery, from facility-related control systems (FRCS) to ICS/SCADA devices, connected medical devices, and weapons systems. But as IT and OT converge, new vulnerabilities are emerging faster than many agencies can adapt. In fact, 68% of federal OT leaders anticipate a disruptive cyber-physical incident within the next year.

This on-demand webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities of securing today’s OT environments, drawing on insight from MeriTalk and Claroty’s report: Guardians of Government, Vol. 2: Fortifying the Cyber-Physical Frontier. The conversation will feature government and industry leaders breaking down key findings from the report, highlighting surprising trends, and sharing proven practices to bolster resilience.

We’ll cover:

• Where OT security is critical to mission assurance amidst today’s geopolitical tensions
• Practical ways to address some of OT leaders’ most pressing issues – including fundamental gaps in OT security – identified within the report
• The continued collaboration challenge between OT and IT, why it’s important, and how to overcome it
• The unique role of OT security in the modern battlespace and how to best prepare for the Department of War’s focus on OT resilience
• The key differentiations among agencies most prepared to withstand a disruptive OT incident
