Manufacturers can’t afford downtime, yet most still operate with major blind spots across IT and OT. Legacy systems, isolated networks, and incomplete inventories make it hard to see risk, and problems aren’t reacted to quickly enough as a result.
We see this as a perineal industry challenge. The organisational issue of IT and OT convergence persists, as teams continue to work from different data, work to different priorities, and therefore have different definitions of risk.
How are businesses supposed to build a unified picture of what’s happening across their production environment?
This session explores how manufacturers are tackling that challenge: What does real-time visibility across converged IT/OT environments actually look like? And how can you get there without disrupting operations?
