Windsor C (Strategy Breakout)

About This Session

It is more critical than ever to remain agile in maturing OT cyber programs. Most organizations have made significant investment in their OT cyber programs all while targets are shifting, objectives are evolving, expectations are in flux, the landscape is changing, and standards are being redefined.

Securing leadership support when the goal posts are moving requires strategic communication and framing while keeping both cost and time in-mind. Organizations must remain agile through continuous adoption and improvement of existing OT cyber programs.

This session will discuss key steps to securing leadership buy-in, and critical ingredients to successfully revitalizing your cyber program.
