These use cases enable benefits such as reduced costs and improved efficiency, protection of field industrial devices from local and Internet-based attack, safe and secure third-party access to local OT/ICS devices and data, and aggregation and analysis of big data to create visibility and insight to operations such as:

  • Discrete & Process Manufacturing
  • Energy, Oil & Gas
  • Medical
  • Critical Infrastructure
  • Smart Cities

The presentation will highlight:

  • IT/OT convergence cyber security apertures
