Panel Discussion | Industrial and the Cloud: Risks and Realities
About this talk
This is demonstrated through the number and type of devices connecting to the industrial network – smart sensors, valves, and gauges – expanding the attack surface and making industrial environments low-hanging fruit for an attack. Cloud adoption has also increased to improve data analytics and support the growing need for remote access. Listen in as our panel of OT experts explore:
- Threats
- Challenges
- Security strategies used for industrial environments

For more than a decade, Fortinet has protected OT environments in critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, defense, manufacturing, food, and transportation. By designing security into complex infrastructure via the Fortinet Security Fabric, organizations have an efficient, non-disruptive way to ensure that the OT environment is protected and compliant.
Most OT environments run legacy systems and protocols that are sensitive to disruption and lack effective security. Industrial environments once built to operate in isolated networks are now connected to the internet, exposing them to all the threats that plague IT networks.
In addition, many OT organizations rely on OEMs and service providers to operate and maintain converged IT/OT networks remotely. This adds risk by both expanding the attack surface and inserting the potential for access by bad actors.
The Fortinet Security Fabric seamlessly enables security for converged IT/OT ecosystems. It also provides OT-centric features and products to extend Security-Fabric capabilities to OT networks in factories, plants, remote locations, and ships.
To help alleviate security risks across the organization, we’ve continued to enhance our OT security offerings. These innovations range from edge products to NOC and SOC tools and services to ensure effective and efficient networking and cybersecurity performance and operation.
