In industrial cybersecurity, you can’t protect what you can’t see – and for many OT teams, the wireless airspace in and around operational environments remains a significant blind spot - and highly vulnerable attack surface. The rise of wireless tools on the factory floor and IoT devices has expanded the attack surface in ways that transcend physical perimeters and traditional network segmentation. Industrial control systems are no longer confined to isolated, wired networks – they’re now active in and surrounded by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth , Zigbee, cellular, LoRaWAN and WirelessHART wireless networks, among others. Many industrial control systems ship from the factor with wireless radios and get installed with wireless functionality turned on. Yet today, most plants lack the means to monitor rogue Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other RF activity until after an incident occurs.

In this panel discussion, experts from Nozomi Networks, Interstates, and one of our industrial customers will dive into the reality of wireless threats in OT environments. We’ll share real-world examples of unexpected devices, explore how to identify and monitor what’s in the air, and talk through practical steps to build better visibility without disrupting operations.
