- Designed for Australian organisations managing cybersecurity, infrastructure, operations or technology strategy
The OT and IoT Security Challenge
Operational Technology and IoT devices, ranging from digital signage and building management systems to medical imaging equipment and manufacturing plant controls, typically connect to corporate networks but remain outside the scope of traditional IT cybersecurity programs. These assets present distinct security challenges: they often cannot accept endpoint agents, may not tolerate active scanning, and frequently cannot be patched or taken offline without operational disruption.
This webinar, hosted by IT Integrity and Asimily, examines why these connected operational assets have become targets for cyber attackers. The session addresses the difficulty of inventorying devices that are often unmanaged and owned by multiple teams across an organisation.
Topics Covered
- Visibility challenges for OT and IoT assets that fall outside traditional security monitoring
- Complexity of securing connected environments without disrupting critical operations
- Identifying hidden cyber risks and understanding existing controls
- Prioritising remediation efforts based on asset exposure and risk
Mike McDermott, Vice President of Sales at Asimily, will present global perspectives on how organisations are gaining visibility across OT and IoT environments.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is relevant for professionals responsible for cybersecurity, infrastructure, operations or technology strategy within Australian organisations, particularly those in healthcare, aged care, retail, manufacturing and logistics where connected operational assets are prevalent.
