Operational Technology (OT) Security 101 - Mr. Ian Verhappen, P.Eng.

Microprocessor based systems are everywhere, including in industrial processes and the associated Operating Technology (OT) environment. Much of the core technologies used in the OT environment are the same as used in the consumer / business (IT) environment and as a result a common assumption is that the same tools and protection methods are also transferrable. Unfortunately, this is not the case as each environment has different requirements and demands. This presentation will summarize some of the main differences in approach, alternate ways to address these differences, plus several international standards development and related industry recognized approaches to implement best practices to protect OT
systems and associated critical infrastructure.
