The Zero Trust Factory: Your Blueprint for Securing OT without Production Downtime

Thursday, October 8, 2026
12:45 PM - 1:30 PM
Lunch Sessions (Sound Room)

About This Session

The "air gap" is a myth. Your factory is a prime target for attackers, and a single breach can halt production. It's time for a new playbook.

Join Zscaler's OT Architect, Hitesh Chhabra, for a 45-minute lunch workshop and get a ready-to-use blueprint for building a true Zero Trust factory. Learn how to move from a vulnerable, perimeter-based model to a modern, Zero-Trust security architecture without agents and without risking production downtime.

In this lunch workshop, you will learn how to:

• Implement Zero Trust: Get a step-by-step framework for a Zero Trust architecture within an OT environment
• Control OT Access: Securely provide access to employees, contractors, and third parties.
• Segment Your Network: Isolate critical systems and prevent lateral threat movement.
• Proactively Defend: Use deception and threat intelligence to neutralize threats before they impact operations.
