Operational Technology (OT) environments are surrounded by mystery—and misinformation. From aging infrastructure to vendor-specific systems and limited visibility, many organizations rely on outdated assumptions to guide their security strategy. In this mythbusting webinar, we’ll rip the mask off three of the biggest misconceptions that could be putting your industrial operations at risk.

We'll expose:

Myth #1: “Connecting OT means compromising it”
For years, organizations have kept OT networks air-gapped, believing connection equals exposure. But in today’s digital-first world, disconnection is the real risk. If you’re still operating under the “never connect” mindset, you’re not just behind—you’re vulnerable.
Myth #2: "Patching is enough to stay protected"
It’s time to move beyond the patch-or-perish narrative. OT systems can’t always be patched on demand—sometimes, they can’t be patched at all. But that doesn’t mean you're out of options. 
Myth #3: "Seeing is securing”
Discovery & visibility tools give you insight, but they don’t enforce policy, block access, or contain breaches. Real protection comes from layered defense that starts where visibility stops.


Through tangible strategies and hands-on examples, Roman Arutyunov (Co-founder and SVP of Product), Victor Chang (Field CISO), and Chris Cone (Senior Solutions Architect) of Xage Security will bust these myths wide open, providing a clear, actionable roadmap to securing OT environments. Whether you’re in energy, manufacturing, utilities, or other critical industries, you’ll leave with practical insights and modern solutions to protect what matters most—without downtime or drama.

The OT Cybersecurity Illusion: Breaking Down the Biggest Myths

Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, but its adoption brings risks that demand security that can keep up. In this webinar, Xage co-founders Roman Arutyunov and Susanto Irwan will examine the evolving AI threat landscape through real-world scenarios.
They’ll address critical questions on preventing rogue AI, securing sensitive data, enforcing guardrails on employee interactions, and protecting both digital and physical infrastructures. With practical examples and a demo, the speakers will demonstrate how Xage’s Zero Trust Fabric delivers identity-driven protection across agents, data, workloads, and infrastructure.

This session will equip CIOs, CISOs, Heads of AI, and technology leaders with a clear path to adopt AI confidently—driving innovation while maintaining control, compliance, and resilience.

AI Unleashed, Risk Contained: Securing Enterprise AI with Zero Trust

As cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure continue to intensify, utilities across North America are under mounting pressure to comply with a sweeping set of updates to the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards. With new enforcement timelines for CIP-003-9, CIP-005-7, CIP-010-4, and CIP-013-2 on the horizon, even Low Impact assets must now adhere to stricter access controls, audit logging, and vendor management practices.

This expert panel will unpack the key implications of these regulatory changes—who’s affected, what’s required, and how utilities can respond effectively. Join industry leaders as they explore strategies for how organizations not only meet evolving compliance mandates, but also strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture.

Whether you're just beginning your CIP readiness journey or refining an established program, this discussion will equip you with actionable strategies to secure the grid in 2025 and beyond.

Compromised privileged accounts are key attack vectors on oil and gas operators as well as across other industries including global titans like Change Healthcare, Microsoft, and many others. Year over year account security and privilege management continue to be the biggest opportunity for attack prevention. However the risk is multiplied in oil and gas organizations with globally distributed operations, many remote locations with legacy operational technology, and other factors that contribute to account management complexity. This session will discuss real world account and access management challenges we’ve seen with critical infrastructure operators, and how to solve them, including:

Third-party access challenges – The need to enable and control the access of employees, contractors, and servicers
Insecure credentials – The need to reduce attack surface created by static or insecure OT credentials and lack of MFA
Monitoring and auditing visibility – The need to see which accounts were accessing which assets, and what they did.

Stale Privileged Accounts Are A Ticking Time Bomb

With a deadline on the horizon, CMMC 2.0 implementation is top of mind. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as following a recipe—the path to success varies widely based on the specifics of your organization and environment. Are you team Microsoft or team Google? What’s your technology ecosystem? In this webinar featuring Matt Koehr, President of Xage Government, and moderated by Carol Caley, PMM at Xage Security, we’ll discuss the requirements of CMMC and dig into how getting it right varies depending on your systems and setup.

Infinite Paths to Achieving CMMC 2.0 Success

Privilege Access Management (PAM) provides a critical enterprise security control to mitigate the catastrophic risk associated with privileged users. While many enterprises are looking for a  PAM solution, existing PAM approaches struggle to find all privileged accounts, define access and policies, and provide broad coverage. These approaches are incomplete – leaving large chunks of the enterprise attack surface at risk. This webinar will dive into those challenges, and explore how Xage’s modern approach to Extended PAM enables protection from day one, while making it easy to discover privileges and enforce access.

Like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, cyberattackers always find a way. As defenders tighten their controls, attackers open new fronts, change their attack tactics, and choose their targets to maximize profit and disruption. This webcast will discuss changes in cyberattack tactics, and how defenders can adapt:

- The increase in software supply chain attacks, plus massive growth in vulnerability exploitation as revealed in Verizon DBIR 2024.

- The state of stolen credentials as an attack vector. MFA bypass, MFA fatigue, and more.

- How AI is going to change the cyberattack landscape, and how to get ahead of it.


Join us live. We’ll take questions from the audience throughout, so you can drive the discussion too.

Exploits Up! Shifting Cyberattack Tactics Require New Defense Strategies

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has been growing in popularity for several years. Recently, we saw demand skyrocket with the disclosure of several vulnerabilities in popular VPN providers. While ZTNA is a more secure solution, there are still some concerns that traditional ZTNA may expose assets to threats, serving as a pivot point for lateral movement. It’s critical that organizations implement not just ZTNA, but asset protection as well. Attendees will gain an understanding of how zero trust principles interlace with asset protection concepts, and what to look for in technology offerings promising these capabilities.
