Session
The most common definition of OT (Operational Technology) includes ICS (Industrial Control Systems). This talk will present an alternative view which better aligns to current practice, both in NZ and globally. The talk will address some of the conflict in terminology and discourse around what good OT cyber security looks like - generally from a defender perspective. The talk will include key insights and takeaways technical and non-technical, regardless of your OT security maturity.
