OT CyberSecurity Summit 2024 | 28 October 2024 | Norris Conference Centers - Houston/CityCentre, just off sky bridge to Hotel Moran, Parking Garage 3, 816 Town and Country Blvd #210, Houston, TX 77024, USA

In addition to the high-profile cyber-attack on the Colonial Pipeline, a recent report released by multiple U.S. Government agencies, “Defending OT Operations Against Ongoing Pro-Russian Hacktivist Activity”, has highlighted the urgent need to secure OT device security to protect critical infrastructure. Cybercriminals are increasingly focusing on OT systems, which often have insufficient security measures in place and are crucial for key infrastructure and industrial operations.

The alarming rise in OT cyber-attacks on America's critical infrastructure has highlighted the urgent need to prioritize investment in defending against OT-specific cyber threats. Oil and Gas, Utilities, and other critical infrastructure companies must reassess their approach to cybersecurity and mitigate attacks across converged systems. With increasingly sophisticated methods of attack and the added complexities of IT/OT convergence, investing in advanced threat detection, employee training to raise cyber risk awareness, and incident response capability has become more urgent than ever before.

The Summit will bring together OT, operations, ICS, and cybersecurity leaders to discuss how to reduce system vulnerabilities and cyber threats across your OT operating environment.

Key Themes Include how To:
• Understand the new cybersecurity risks of IT/OT convergence
• Identify system vulnerabilities and cyber threats across the OT operating environment
• Address technology debt and security challenges faced across legacy systems
• Identify security designed specifically for OT Networks
• Utilize the leading OT security drivers to secure leadership buy-in for investment
• Address the OT cybersecurity skills shortage in an era of industrial automation
• Understand the cyber risks across multiple platforms and vendors with increased use of connected devices
• Bridge the gap between IT/OT teams in a converged operating environment to enhance collaboration and strengthen overall cybersecurity
• Examine the National Cybersecurity Strategy and the updated cybersecurity requirements for TSA-regulated oil and gas pipeline systems and facilities
