Feb 2, 2021 | Manageable Zero Trust for OT Networks – Waterfall Security x dragos

Speaker: Blase Janov & Dr. Jacob Benjamin
Date: Tuesday, Feb 2, 13:00 EST (New York Time)

Why is it so hard to manage? And, what tools can make zero trust a workable and robust solution for OT networks? The combination of Dragos’ OT-centric asset discovery, mapping and management tools and Waterfall’s hardware-enforced security and segmentation tools make OT zero trust a strong and practical approach to improved OT cybersecurity.
