DESCRIPTION:Operational Technology networks are often discussed as if they
  are completely isolated. In reality\, remote maintenance\, vendor access\
 , business systems and centralised monitoring have created more connection
 s between IT and OT.\n\nThis talk explains how that convergence changes th
 e attack surface and why familiar networking weaknesses have different con
 sequences when the network controls a physical process.\n\nI will walk thr
 ough a simple attack path from remote access into an OT environment\, intr
 oducing concepts such as segmentation\, trust boundaries\, HMIs\, PLCs and
  RTUs along the way. I will also briefly reference real incidents affectin
 g European energy infrastructure to show how network access can move towar
 ds operational disruption.\n\nThis is an introduction to modern OT network
 ing\, focused on one question: how can an ordinary network weakness become
  a physical problem?
