Description
Convergence is blurring the lines between IT and OT, creating an opportunity to improve the visibility, control, and situational awareness necessary for critical systems. Failure to take the wide range of security issues into account when converging these two different networks and networking philosophies can result in catastrophic network failures that risk critical systems as well as the well-being of workers and communities. The Fortinet Security Fabric represents the first-ever architectural security approach designed to dynamically adapt to unique needs of legacy OT environments while enabling the move towards modernizing these critical systems. Leveraging the Purdue Model for the security layers needed in OT, the multi-layered approach offered by the Fortinet Security Fabric provides broad, integrated, and automated protection against sophisticated threats. Attend this technical workshop to help understand the differences between securing IT and OT environments and the importance of active security. Gain hands-on experience applying the Fortinet Security Fabric to better secure operational technologies.
