S4 is not the place to hear lessons learned on the OT / IT security perimeter, MFA for remote access, or other OT security projects that the early adopters have been doing for a decade plus. S4 does put asset owners on stage who are pioneers in deploying new, exciting, and potential big win technologies and projects on a S4 stage. Here are some that will be at S4x25.

How We Used Dynamic Edge Segmentation To Secure Our Hyperconnected Factory with Mark Finch of GSK
Pharmaceutical giant GSK’s hyperconnected manufacturing environment was rapidly expanding. Traditional segmentation methods proved inadequate, leading to the development and deployment of a Dynamic Edge Segmentation (DES) solution. Mark will describe what DES is and how it differs from traditional network segmentation, and then describe his experience and lessons learned with this technology and solution.
