About the Webinar
This 45-minute virtual webinar from Claroty examines the financial and operational consequences of cyber incidents affecting operational technology environments. The session presents findings from a survey of 2,000 executives worldwide, quantifying the real-world impact of digital disruptions on industrial operations and critical infrastructure.
Quantifying OT Risk for Executive Audiences
A central theme is translating technical security metrics into business language suitable for board-level reporting. The webinar addresses how organizations can quantify operational consequence, moving beyond traditional IT security metrics to capture the true cost of downtime in OT environments. This includes methods for measuring likelihood, blast radius, and recovery duration of cyber-physical incidents.
Third-Party Access and Vendor Pathway Control
The session covers governance of third-party access to critical systems, a persistent challenge in industrial environments where external vendors require connectivity to operational networks. Strategies for controlling vendor pathways aim to reduce exposure without disrupting necessary maintenance and support activities.
Bridging IT Security and OT Requirements
The webinar addresses limitations of applying IT-centric security tools to operational technology environments. It explores how visibility, exposure management, secure access, and threat detection capabilities must be adapted to deliver meaningful resilience outcomes in industrial settings.
Who Should Attend
The webinar targets security and operational leaders at executive, director, and manager levels. It is relevant to OT, IT, and cybersecurity professionals working in manufacturing, healthcare, utilities, transportation, and critical infrastructure sectors, particularly those in large enterprises and regulated industries responsible for managing cyber-physical risk.
