Bringing Engineering on Board and Resetting IT Expectations
Join our webinar for a revealing deep dive into the real causes behind the dysfunctional relationship between IT security and OT engineering teams—and discover actionable strategies to build trust, alignment, and true cooperation.
Join us on January 28, 2026 | 12PM New York Time
In many organizations the relationship between IT/enterprise security and OT/engineering teams is dysfunctional. These teams work in the same organization, support the same mission, and even address many of the same threats, but when they sit down together it sounds like they need relationship counseling. Much has been written about the problem. Most of that writing misses the point, focusing on symptoms, not root causes. In this webinar we dig into causes, solutions and how to ask the right questions to guide the relationship into healthy cooperation.
In this webinar you will learn:
Consequence is one root cause of OT/IT differences – we cannot restore human lives and damaged equipment from backups
Another root cause – we defeat OT sabotage with many of the same tools as we defeat IT espionage, but we must use those tools differently
Who manages OT equipment is less important than how that equipment is managed
We need to avoid common mistakes regarding inertia, criticality, credibility, and consequences
