OnDemand | Navigating the SEC Rules for Enhanced Cybersecurity in IT and OT Environments
As technology continues to transform operational capabilities for businesses, cyber threats have also become more sophisticated, elevating the potential for devastating consequences.
While OT and IT networks have significantly converged to meet the demands of ongoing modernization, there are still distinct cybersecurity risks for each environment. IT environments contend with risks such as potential loss of valuable data, intellectual property, and network services. In contrast, OT environments have different systems, network traffic, and adversaries which carry the potential to cripple critical infrastructure, including the natural environment and human life. During a cyber incident, both environments contend with the potential for operational downtime, loss of revenue, and reputational risks that can occur at excruciating cost. In the wake of the SEC's disclosure regime, companies will need to simultaneously address security concerns while ensuring that they make appropriate regulatory filings.
In this webinar, experts from Dragos and Pillsbury explore the unique challenges Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Risk Officers, and cybersecurity executives face to secure critical networks and assets from cyber attacks.
