- Covers compliance considerations for IEC 62443-4-2 in cyber-physical systems
- Designed for OT engineers, plant managers, and cybersecurity leaders in critical infrastructure and manufacturing
About the Event
The APAC OT Demo Day is a virtual event hosted by Fortinet that focuses on practical security strategies for operational technology environments. The event uses live demonstrations to illustrate how organisations can protect cyber-physical systems as they increasingly integrate with IT networks, cloud platforms, and analytics tools.
Technical Focus Areas
The demonstrations address the expanding attack surface created by IT/OT convergence, moving beyond traditional perimeter firewall approaches. Sessions cover zero trust implementation for cyber-physical systems, OT network segmentation with protocol inspection for industrial protocols such as Modbus and DNP3, and web application and API security for OT environments.
Secure remote access receives particular attention, including privileged access management for third-party vendors and internal engineers. The event also explores threat detection capabilities and next-generation firewall deployment in industrial settings.
Regulatory and Compliance Context
The event addresses compliance requirements under IEC 62443-4-2, the international standard for security capabilities in industrial automation and control system components. This is particularly relevant for organisations in critical infrastructure, utilities, and manufacturing sectors facing regulatory obligations around operational technology security.
Who Should Attend
This event targets mid to senior-level professionals responsible for OT security, including OT engineers, plant and factory managers, IT/OT security architects, and cybersecurity specialists. It is most relevant for organisations in critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and utilities sectors managing converged IT/OT environments.
