Secure Remote Access for Operational Technology
About This Session
[This is a Solutions Theater Session Sponsored by Fortinet]
The ability to securely support remote employees and contractors is essential for OT business continuity. OT organizations need to secure remote access to commission new equipment, apply critical patches, and perform repairs or troubleshooting activities remotely. This can also include remote monitoring and diagnostics, or the use of remote operations centers to cost-effectively manage geographically distributed assets.
Join this demonstration to understand the risks associated with unsecured remote access, the impact of regulations and security standards related to remote access requirements, and key security considerations when implementing remote access in OT environments.
